Byyny, MD t its annual meeting in October 2013, the AΩA Board of Directors approved an AΩA Leadership Award and DevelopmentA Program, to be implemented in 2014. Leadership has long been a core value of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, and is one of the criteria for membership. Unfortunately, many AΩA members with lead- ership potential or leadership experience at mid-level posi- tions may find themselves without the resources to advance their leadership careers. Given that many AΩA members have significant accomplishments in medicine, education, and health care, and have the potential to become great leaders if they receive the training and experience to hone their leader- ship skills, we believe this is a lost opportunity for medicine. This raises an important question for AΩA: How can we as an interdisciplinary honor medical society best support and contribute to leadership promotion and development as part of our mission and one of our core values—“to improve care Illustration by Jim M’Guinness. 2 The Pharos/Spring 2014 for all by encouraging the development of leaders in academia tenets of medical ethics and professionalism.

Here I am, suspended between the sidewalk and twilight, the sky dimming so fast it seems alive. What if you felt the invisible tug between you and everything? A boy on a bicycle rides by, his white shirt open, flaring behind him like wings. It’s a hard time to be human. We know too much and too little. Does the breeze need us? The cliffs? The gulls? If you’ve managed to do one good thing, the ocean doesn’t care.

    Déjà Vu Gentrification: Prospects for Community Mobilization in New York City’s Lower East Side and Chinatown in the Post-9/11 Era by Deland Chan B.A. (Stanford University) 2007 M.A. (Stanford University) 2007 A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of City Planning in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ananya Roy, Chair Professor Teresa Caldeira Professor Michael Omi Spring 2009 The thesis of Deland Chan is approved: Chair ______________________________________________ Date _____________ ______________________________________________ Date _____________ ______________________________________________ Date _____________ University of California, Berkeley i Acknowledgements The act of writing a thesis is often envisioned as a one-person endeavor consisting of typing furiously on the keyboard—often late at night—while little is known that it takes an army of professors, family, and friends and their constant support to make it happen. I would like to thank Teresa Caldeira and the Master’s thesis writing group— Hun Kim, Sergio Montero, and Oscar Sosa—for your help throughout the writing process. I appreciate your insightful comments and steady collegial support. Our meetings have transformed my thesis into a rewarding project. Ananya Roy has offered encouragement at every step in the journey, whether guiding me through the realities of fieldwork or ensuring the logical cohesion of my thesis. Michael Omi has offered invaluable mentorship throughout this process, and I appreciate his contribution in shaping the numerous drafts. Lastly, I would like to thank Genni Low for her transcription assistance, Michael Huang for ensuring that I eat at least three meals a day in my quest to stay hungry and foolish, and perhaps most importantly, the residents of the Lower East Side and Chinatown for sharing their insights with me.

PROPERTY NOTE Centuries before becoming a grand summer estate owned by one of America's wealthiest families, Castle Hill was well known by Native Americans who called the area “Agawam,” referring to its rich fishery. In 1637, John Winthrop Jr., son of the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was given Castle Hill by the townsfolk as an incentive to remain in Ipswich. For more than two hundred years, a succession of owners farmed the land. In the 1880s, John Burnham Brown transformed Castle Hill Farm from an agricultural holding into a gentleman's farm. He improved roadways and plantings and renovated his modest farmhouse into a rambling, shingle-style cottage that is now The Inn at Castle Hill.
