Ira Harkavy ABOUT PHENND OUR MISSION The Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development (PHENND) is a consortium of over 25 colleges and universities in the greater Philadelphia area. PHENND works to build the capacity of its member institutions to develop mutually benefcial, sustained, and democratic community-based service-learning partnerships. The consortium actively seeks to revitalize local communities and schools and foster civic responsibility among the region’s colleges and universities. Higher educational institutions can function as permanent anchors and partners for community improvement. Moreover, it is deeply in their interests to do so; their futures are intertwined with that of their neighborhoods. PHENND provides a vehicle for coordinating and, where appropriate, combining the efforts of higher eds so that they can make a signifcant contribution to improving the entire Philadelphia region. OUR HISTORY The Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development (PHENND) began in 1987 with representatives from fve colleges and universities. In the spring of 1991, interest in PHENND began to increase, witnessed by an organizational meeting that drew over twenty participants from higher educational institutions throughout the area. In 1992, PHENND co-sponsored and was the lead organization of Philadelphia’s Summer of Service Project, part of an initial effort in President Clinton’s National Service Program. The program, Immunize Children At-Risk Early (ICARE), involved the coordination of 12 higher educational institutions through PHENND, the City’s Health Department, the Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition, and the School District of Philadelphia, as well as other organizations. In 1993, PHENND began to hold regular meetings and policy workshops with local, state, and federal offcials. Metropolitan-area higher ed collaboration was strengthened in 1994 when several Philadelphia-area institutions received grants through Pennsylvania Campus Compact to develop a corps of part-time service scholars. Managing the only part-time corps in the nation, the Philadelphia program coordinators met regularly, helping solidify a regional approach to national service. The program was so successful it became a model for the current “Ed-only” AmeriCorps award, administered by the Corporation for National Service. 4 About PHENND the GEAR UP College Coach Program, the PHENND Fellows VISTA Project, and the Next Steps AmeriCorps program. PHENND’s growth signals an increasing recognition that signifcant curricular and co-curricular benefts can result when student and faculty members focus their research on working with the community. Finally, the PHENND approach provides a way to more effectively educate students for citizenship by providing them with op- portunities to serve. PHENND provides increased hope that In 1997, PHENND received a major grant from the Corporation for National Service as higher educational institutions will work part of the frst round of higher education consortia awards under the Learn and Serve together to help solve our country’s most program. Since that time, PHENND has grown from an organization of fve colleges and pressing problems. For the Philadelphia universities to over 25 and from 25 individuals to over 6,000. area, PHENND signals a new kind of Since 1997, PHENND has held an annual conference, which draws higher ed faculty, stu- democratic partnership that will result in dents, and administrators as well as representatives of community based organizations substantial benefts for the colleges, uni- and public schools to discuss issues pertaining to campus-community partnership. The versities, schools and communities of our 2018 PHENND Conference, which drew 91 participants from across the region, focused region. on Health. Dr. Walter Tsou, former City of Philadelphia Health Commissioner, delivered the keynote speech, highlighting the social determinants of health. PHENND also provides training and technical assistance to numerous university- and community-based practitioners on a wide variety of topics including student volunteer training, service-learning, community-based research, and the best practices of partner- ship. In addition to supporting the work of member institutions, PHENND also coordi- nates its own programs which bring the resources of the PHENND Network to bear on particular issues or problems. Current initiatives include: the K-16 Partnerships Network, About PHENND 5 COMMUNICATION & EVENTS INTRODUCTION PHENND is a network of institutions of higher education (IHEs), non-proft agencies, community organizations, and individuals in the Delaware Valley with the shared goal of working together to strengthen the region’s service and service-learning sectors. PHENND is a network of institutions of higher education (IHEs), non-proft agencies, community organizations, and individuals in the Delaware Valley with the shared goal of working together to strengthen the region’s educational ecosystem. PHENND’s activities such as conferences, email newsletters, and technical assistance to attract and serve a broad array of individuals and organizations from the IHE, service-learning, community service, and non-proft sectors throughout the region. This past year, PHENND embarked on a new strategic alignment process led by a team of pro bono consultants from Compass. The group undertook a deep dive into PHENND’s practices and programs, and produced a report, “PHENND for the Future.” The report drew on extensive interviews the Compass team conducted with PHENND staff, advisory board members, and local and national stakeholders. The report makes recommenda- tions around board structure and composition, as well as organizational priorities. Compass built on some prior work begun in the summer of 2017 when we held a focus group of Civic Engage- ment Directors, led by Dr. Jennifer Kebea, the Executive Director of the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement at Drexel University, and a day-long board-staff retreat facilitated by Amy Cohen, Executive Director of the Honey W.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIFTH COMMENCEMENT Sunday, Ma) 17, L998 eleven o'clock in the morning McCarthy m \im \i NOTES ON ACADEMIC DRESS* The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1 321 required all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors" of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade "excess in apparel" and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as "academic." European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.
