My name is Becca and I’m a Harvard College ’08 grad who ran the prefrosh.net website and Yahoo groups for four years while I was at H. As a ’10 you might have been on them or been familiar with them; basically, it was a group of upperclassmen ‘moderators’ answering real-time questions from Harvard prefrosh through a Yahoo group, and then archiving the Q&As into a Wiki database website. Unfortunately since I graduated the website closed, but the co-founders and I have always maintained hopes that someone would continue on with it some day because it was so incredibly valuable for prefrosh as a source of guidance and advice.

I have looked through your blog and find it to be informative, insightful, tech-savvy and well thought out. Yours is exactly the kind of information we used to have on prefrosh.net, and I wondered if you would be interested in collaborating on projects. The prefrosh.net site as of last year has been taken down due to its being out of date, and we need current students to help us revise all the articles to keep up with new administrative policies and changes (like the new calendar reform, new advising programs, new budget cuts of this spring, etc.). Then maybe we could make the site go live again. It’s very useful because it would basically collate much of your blog information in searchable Wiki form. You would of course receive credit and could serve as acting Executive Moderator of the website, while still linking it to your current blog.

Let me know if you’re interested, and even if you are not we should chat anyway. Prefrosh resources did so much for me when I was looking forward to my freshman year at Harvard, and I think we both share a passion to continue helping the future generations in any way we can.

Best,
Becca ’08
