There are over 21,000 Harvard alumni in Southern California and our Club’s boundaries stretch from North San Fernando Valley to South Orange County, from Malibu to Indio - nearly a zillion square miles (remember, I studied history, not geography). There are more than two dozen other Harvard-affiliated associations, Shared Interest Groups, and graduate school alumni organizations operating within our terrain, competing for your valuable Harvard alumni attention. The leadership of this Club must do all it can to engage with these groups, as well as with reunion committees and other Cambridge-based initiatives, to coordinate and maximize the Harvard alumni experience in the Southland. It is my firm belief that the best way to give the Harvard alumni community exactly what it wants is to find out exactly what it wants. To do that, we will be sending out a survey (to Club members and all SoCal alums). Please respond to it as thoroughly and thoughtfully as you can and encourage your fellow alums to do the same. In addition, feel free to contact me directly. My email address is [email protected] (yes, I still have an AOL address) and I will do my level best to respond to comments and concerns, and, most importantly, to implement your ideas and suggestions. Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to make the dog howl. 2018 Summer Scholarship Recipients Each year, the Harvard Club of Southern California provides scholarships to Harvard undergraduates interested in pursuing public service intern- ships in Los Angeles. This year, the Board had a chance to meet with our worthy recipients to hear how they spent their summers making a differ- ence in our community. Brandon Martinez ’20, hailing from Tustin, had the opportunity to return to Orange County while he worked at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Pictured from left to right are Natalie Swartz, Angeles. Under the supervision of top-notch lawyers, he provided counsel Jacqueline Kellogg, HCSC board member George and legal services to low-income individuals around issues of government Newhouse, and Brandon Martinez. benefits (especially for those with disabilities), and record expungement. Natalie Swartz ’20, a Los Angeles native, interned at the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, where she helped with policy research and communications relating to health equity issues. She helped the department write an internal guide for communicating about public health issues from a health equity perspective and supported policy research about food security, public hygiene access for people experiencing homelessness, and public health prevention funding. Jacqueline Kellogg ’19, originally from Poughkeepsie, New York, interned at Peace Over Violence, an anti-sexual assault and domestic violence agency. She had the opportunity to work with the Legal Advocacy Project helping clients seeking legal assistance relating to their circumstances of interpersonal abuse; to work with the Education and Prevention teams about facilitating conversations with youth about preventing violence in their communities; and to be a part of this incredible, inclusive, and groundbreaking organization that is doing much work to help people find access to resources and safety. Seokmin Oh ’21, from Cypress, worked with the Legal Aid Society of Orange County, helping people without attorneys in the greater Los Angeles Area. He assisted individuals in Compton with restraining orders (elder abuse, domestic vio- lence, and civil harassment), divorces, custody hearings, evictions, and other lawsuits. He assisted in workshops, attended various court hearings, and helped out in the domestic violence clinic. Special thanks to HCSC Board Member George Newhouse for coordinating this program. Check this newsletter at the start of 2019 for information on applying for next summer’s scholarships. 2 Recent Events Harvard Speakers Bureau Event with Professor Jonathan Grindlay On June 24, Harvard astronomy professor Jonathan Grindlay discussed how 130 years of glass plate photographs of the night sky at the Harvard College Observatory have led to many momentous discoveries. In his fascinating and wide-ranging lecture, he explained the nature of stellar black holes, how they differ from other types of black holes, and why black holes are important. “I received many compliments about his riveting presentation,” said event orga- nizer Herb Goldman ‘76. “Besides discussing black holes, he clarified many other topics in astronomy. Sonia Molina [DMD ‘89, MPH ’89] deserves a very special thank you for graciously volunteering her beautiful home for this mar- velous event.” Global Networking Night - Summer 2018 On July 12, the Harvard Club of Southern California teamed up once again with Harvardwood to bring you Global Networking Night. The event was held at The District by Hannah An and over 300+ alumni from the college, graduate and professional schools attended. We will be hosting a few more networking events this year. Make sure to join us in October for our Welcome to Your City event and in November for instaHarvard. Hammer Museum Made in LA Tour On July 21, a dozen Harvard alumni met at the Hammer Museum for a private tour of the museum’s Made in LA 2018 biennial exhibit. The exhibit features the works of 32 artists who are working throughout Los Angeles and the sur- rounding areas. The artists range from age 29 to 97 and have contributed works engaged with issues of contemporary culture. Alumni received an in- depth tour of three featured artists’ work and had a lively discussion sparked by the artwork. After the tour, some alumni continued the conversation with brunch at the nearby Napa Valley Grille. Send-Off Party for Class of 2022 On Sunday, August 5, Daniel A. Medina ’79, MBA ‘83, a former HCSC presi- dent and current Vice President for Schools and Scholarships, joined his wife Laura Martin MBA ’83 and their daughter Alexandra Medina ’22 in welcom- ing approximately 20 incoming freshmen for a send-off pizza party before the students’ departure for Cambridge. HCSC Past President Steven Arkow ’84 and Schools Committee Chair Harry Kim ’86 also attended the event. The students acquainted themselves with each other and compared notes about their freshmen housing assignments, which they received earlier in the week. Move-in day for the Class of 2022 is August 27, with Convocation on Septem- ber 3. Classes begin the next day. “Harvard is expecting another record year for applications this year, and we anticipate Southern California to exceed last year’s level of interview requests,” said Dan Medina. “The Admissions Depart- ment views the alumni interview as a critical component of a candidate’s ap- plication, making it crucial for our area to have sufficient numbers of interview- ers to meet the demands of the applicant pool.” Alumni interested in serving as interviewers should contact Dan at [email protected]. See page 5 for Southern California’s Class of 2022.

Escalante, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Linda Gubler Junge, Director, Public Information & Administrative Services Award-Winning Elementary Schools 2 Fall 2007 Multi-Age Classes Maximize Opportunities for Student Learning R. D. White instituted two unique programs during the 2006-2007 school year. The Accelerated Multiage Class (AMC) consists of 40 students in the fi rst, second, and third grades with two teachers. The GATE Class consists of 40 identifi ed gifted students in the fourth, fi fth, and six grades with one teacher. These two classes aim to better meet the academic, social and emotional needs of high achieving and gifted students. The classes are project oriented with opportunities for acceleration and individualization as well as deeper levels of depth and complexity. What does the class look like? In the AMC class, there are “families” comprised of a fi rst, second and third grader. This week each family will be writing a script, designing costumes, and presenting a play on Native American culture with an emphasis on the Glendale area tribes. The class is also atypical in its physical structure. For example, Mountain Avenue students and teacher (L to R), Henry Emerson, Andrew Johnson, Lundin Lakin, teacher Ashley seats are not assigned and the children Sparks, Ryan Kahsians, and Duncan Wycliffe put pushpins into a map to display the colleges they plan to attend. have the opportunity to sit anywhere they work in groups during science where they choose during the day.
