New from Harvard Extension School

[Life Long Learning]

they won't want anything to do with you there and will roll their eyes at you in public…

though I already know that I will be stigmatized, and belittled there through indirect communication.

I've done the "living in Cambridge and joining clubs, etc" thing and have seen a few things. These aren't remotely words I would use to describe relations between HES students or graduates and the rest of the university.

Who is they? Who do you believe would stigmatize and belittle you based on being an HES student or graduate, and how?

What Harvard clubs did you join?
 
 
I joined four Harvard clubs/organizations with no issues and I am only a Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education (HKSEE) Alumni.  The Harvard University, John F. Kennedy School of Government (HKS) (Official) club (9,244 members); Harvard Kennedy School / Leadership for the 21st Century Club; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health LinkedIn Network; and Harvard Veterans Alumni Organization (512 members). 

EE alumni like myself could care less about what the unproven so-called elite Harvard students think of us.  Same with the professors.  Being formally educated and being successful is not the same thing.  I prefer the second.
