Meet Harvard's Most Popular Feline Student

Harvard University has a special student who doesn't need to pay tuition. Remy the Cat lives about a mile away from campus, but his thirst for knowledge brings him to Harvard regularly. This famous feline roams the buildings and watches over the campus from his perch in the trees.

A Resume That Purrs

Remy is so successful at being a cat that he has his own LinkedIn page. His campus fame grew so much that he became the subject of a course in the Graduate School of Design called "The Psychogeography of Remy."

Learning Through Whiskers

The course used Remy as a way to explore deeper concepts in architectural and urban design. Students studied how Harvard's campus layout affects Remy's habits and movements. They thought about how his behavior might change with new additions to campus, such as exterior cat stairs built just for him.

Design Lessons from a Four-Legged Professor

Through studying Remy, students learned broader concepts about design. The course showed how thinking about animal life can build empathy in design work. Students discovered the importance of considering all possible interactions with a space, not just human ones, when creating something new.

Campus Celebrity

Beyond his teaching duties, Remy is known for appearing wherever he pleases. He shows up to lectures, office hours, dorm rooms, and even parties without an invitation. His confidence is admirable - he goes where he wants, when he wants.

Always on the Lookout

Students and faculty at Harvard constantly keep an eye out for Remy. Everyone hopes to be lucky enough to spot him during their day. Being chosen for a visit from this famous feline is considered quite an honor on campus.

Remy proves that sometimes the best teachers have four paws and a tail. Through his wanderings, he's helping future architects and designers think differently about how spaces work for all creatures, not just humans.
