Friends and family were treated to a men’s and women’s hockey double-header, a ceremonial video and puck drop, and a festive reception in the newly opened Boynton Lounge. Thanks to all the former players and coaches who returned for the evening. It was a great night for Harvard Hockey and a special way to kick off the 2014-15 season. HVC Annual Meeting - Guest Speaker Harvard College Dean - Rakesh Khurana Dean of Harvard College, Rakesh Khurana energized the 50+ Harvard Varsity Club members and coaches in attendance at the November 6th HVC Annual Meeting. Dean Khurana shared his perspective on the current state of the college and his ideas for the future, and then engaged the gathering with a thoughtful and lively question and answer session, making for a truly special evening. HVC President Andy Freed ’90 then presented Dean Khurana with a Varsity Club tie—which the Dean admitted he had been admiring throughout the evening—before giving his own perspective on the current and future status of the Varsity Club. We thank all our members for their participation and support! Friends of Harvard Field Hockey Alumnae Day November 8th was an exciting day for Harvard Field Hockey. It was a day to celebrate the contributions of the four members of the senior class and their families and was a day to welcome back the alumnae (and send them home with some field hockey swag). Most importantly, however, it was game day and the Crimson downed Columbia 4-1 to secure a winning record in the Ivy League. For those of us in the stands, it was incredible to see how far the team has come this year. The team has really increased the speed of the game and the overall level of play. We welcome Kaitlyn, Catriona, Noel, and Caitlin into our alumni crew (we expect good things for our Spring Alumnae game) and are excited to continue to watch Tjerk and the team do great things next season. - Siobhan Desmarais ’08 & Tamara Sigler ’08 Friends of Harvard Fencing 125th Anniversary Dinner Celebration The attendance of over 250 friends of Harvard Fencing at our 125th Anniversary Dinner Celebration was a heartening affirmation of the vitality of Harvard Fencing, and a tribute to 125 years of academic and athletic excellence at Harvard. On January 9th, 1889, forty members of the Harvard Fencing Club held their first meeting. On November 21st, 2014, we honored the legacy of the undergraduates who met that evening, celebrated the enthusiasm with which they launched their sport into Harvard Athletic lore, and rekindled the spirit of competition which, 125 years later, still fuels our quest for great achievements. Our anniversary celebration brought together fencers from the class of 1954 to the current team, including the first Women’s Fencing Captain, Harvard’s eight NCAA Individual Champions, members of the 2006 NCAA Championship team, Harvard Olympians and former Olympic Champions, the Head Coaches at Columbia and Wellesley, and representatives of the US Olympic Committee, the US Fencing Association, Harvard University, the Harvard Department of Athletics, and the Harvard Varsity Club. It was a great honor to serve as master of ceremonies for the evening, and to share the stage with our speakers: Peter Brand, the current Head Coach of Harvard Fencing, Branimir Zivkovic, former Head Coach of Harvard Fencing, Bob Scalise, Director of Athletics, and Bill Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions. Our celebration program also included the first screening of One For All: The Enduring Story of Harvard Fencing, a documentary film on Harvard’s fencing history, which was inspired by former Harvard great Philippe Bennett ’76.

    The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Sharing a Room, Sharing a Race News Sharing a Room, Sharing a Race Two Harvard students will compete in the 111th Boston Marathon Published On 4/9/2007 1:07:11 AM By KHALID ABDALLA Crimson Staff Writer Early in the afternoon when most students are done for the day, Charlton “Chad” Volpe ’07 laces on his sneakers and prepares to head out for a run. Volpe is a former rugby player who has traded in his cleats for sneakers to try his hand at the ultimate long-distance running challenge. He joins the ranks of many Harvard students who have decided to run next week’s Boston Marathon, but luckily for this first-timer he has a veteran training buddy in his lanky roommate, Matthew R. Conroy ‘07. Both runners are among the 30 students running the marathon for the Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC), which requires its particpants to fundraise before the run. Those 30 will join the expected 20,000 runners at next Monday’s Boston Marathon, the world’s oldest annually contested staging of the grueling 26-mile race. Between the training and the fundraising, students are re-shaping their lives in preparation for a race that killed its first participant back in 490 B.C. And though Volpe, a newcomer to the running scene, as well as the experienced Conroy, have faced their own challenges on the road to the marathon—each one breaking a foot last fall—they are confident that, together, they are up for the challenge. A ROCKY ROAD After breaking his foot in a rugby match last November, Volpe took a radically different path in his athletic career.

    Weighing the Evidence: One University Takes a Hard Look at Disordered Eating Among Athletes A Teaching Case From the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Boston Children’s Hospital Written by Eric Weinberger Contact: S. Bryn Austin, ScD Email: [email protected] Phone: (001-)(617)355-8194 Copyright 2015 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College TABLE OF CONTENTS The provided case study narrative document includes: 1. Cover page, plus table of contents, synopsis, acknowledgments, and funding (3 pages) 2. Cast of characters (1 page) 3. Case study narrative “Weighing the Evidence: Colburn University Takes a Hard Look at Disordered Eating in Campus Athletics” (11 pages) 4. Colburn University “Pre-participation Evaluation” or nutrition screening form for incoming freshmen and transfer athletes (1 page) SYNOPSIS When a student-athlete falls ill with an eating disorder and needs treatment, chances are that many factors came into play. While some might see an eating disorder as arising only because of personal factors—such as a person’s genes or her or his family, choices in diet or priorities, or because of a particular psychological make-up—the reality is that all of these individual and family concerns are very much shaped by the larger environment, from extended family to school to media and society as a whole. For college athletes, the environment on campus, on their team, and in their sport may be pivotal. For university athletic programs that wish to do better by their students, thinking about systems and the interconnection of all aspects of student life and athletic pressures for performance is paramount.

In a Dec. 10 letter of response, Kilian B. Kagle — who heads the FOIA Branch of the department’s Civil Rights Division — wrote that records “pertaining to the investigation into the equity of the admissions process at Harvard College [...] pertain to an ongoing law enforcement proceeding.” As a result, Kagle denied access to any relevant documents.
