We also took a creative risk and produced our musical in our smaller theater. The compromise was that our box office numbers were not as strong as they’ve been in years past. We are proud of the work we did in the past season because audience members who visited our spaces came away offering near-universal acclaim for our work. We were also pleased to welcome an appreciative crowd of local high school students to the theater for our performance of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

  • New Hampshire Road Trip!
    JANUARY 2012 Remembering Longtime IOP Advisor Milt Gwirtzman New JFK Jr. Forum Microsite Alumni Q & A with Peter Buttigieg ’04 2012 Polling and Research Careers and Internships New Mayors Conference NEW HAMPSHIRE ROAD TRIP! With the 2012 Republican presidential primary race in high gear this fall, students packed buses to nearby New Hampshire to meet presidential candidates as the IOP conducted timely younger voter public opinion research in Iowa and the Granite State. Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University Trey Grayson, Director The 2012 election cycle is in high gear, and the past six months have been fast- paced at the Institute. As you will note in this newsletter, the IOP has been at the forefront of election and campaign-related programming, with events, conferences and younger voter research unavailable anywhere else. One of my biggest goals since beginning service as the Institute’s Director has been to improve how the IOP utilizes technology – in an effort to maximize efficiency internally and best distribute and share our content externally to audiences inter- ested in politics and public service. Toward this end, we are very pleased this month to unveil the new online home for John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum programming at www.jfkjrforum.org (see feature on next page). The new microsite not only has a state-of-the art design but also can broadcast Forum programming in a format allowing Forum events to be streamed live or viewed later on any computer or device, including iPads and iPhones. We are also hard at work building a new IOP-wide website – scheduled to be completed next fall – which improves our current website layout and better integrates key online content from Institute students and student publications like the Harvard Political Review.

Sarno (updated – April 16, 2020) 1 An Open Letter to our Residents and Business Community The City of Springfield is committed to keeping our residents and business community informed about the latest developments on the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We will continue to monitor the situation and adhere to any and all public health and safety measures recommended by the health experts, the Governor’s Office, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the CDC and other state and federal agencies. As we all deal with the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19), I wanted to reassure you that our proud city team has been tested and true through a number of natural and man-made disasters. I’d like to give special thanks to our Commissioner of Health and Human Services Helen Caulton-Harris, who has done the yeoman’s work as our city’s point person. On March 13, 2020, I declared a state of emergency in the City of Springfield to help mitigate any potential spread of the coronavirus. This action is taken out of an abundance of caution and to avail our city to all state and federal relief and recovery assistance needed. Again, I would ask you all to please adhere to and follow all of the preventative and recommended health measures – though they seem simple and common sense these efforts will help meet and defeat this challenge before us. I want to encourage our residents and businesses to continue to check in for any updates and new developments on our city’s website at www.springfield-ma.gov.
