The imagined scenario: a crisis in 2021 as North Korea fires a test missile far into the Pacific Ocean, with experts convinced this advance in the country’s capabilities was funded by a new Chinese digital currency. The assembled group, which included former Cabinet members and presidential advisers such as Lawrence Summers, Meghan O’Sullivan, and Ash Carter, dove deeply into the substance of the matter. Just as valuable, their firsthand knowledge of how personalities, agendas, and imperfect information play vital roles in decision making.

  • TO: Drew Faust, President of Harvard University FROM: the Harvard Graduate Council SUBJECT: Open Letter Requesting Recognit
    TO: Drew Faust, President of Harvard University FROM: The Harvard Graduate Council SUBJECT: Open Letter Requesting Recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day DATE: 21 November 2016 Dear President Faust, As the representative body for Harvard’s approximately 15,250 graduate and professional students, the Harvard Graduate Council today unanimously voted to request that Harvard University officially recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day on all Harvard academic calendars. This act reflects the sentiment of the graduate student body, our shared goal of inclusion, as well as the unique responsibility of our University to stand with those for whom this modest act would have significant meaning. History shows us that the arrival of Columbus led to the persecution of numerous Native Peoples, the aftermath of which can still be seen today. The Harvard Medical School community notes that the Native American population today faces many health disparities including higher death rates than other Americans due to chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, unintentional injuries, assault/homicide, intentional self-harm/suicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. Furthermore, the Indian Health Service, a federal agency that provides healthcare to Native American and Alaskan Native people, is grossly underfunded—the amount of money spent per patient is approximately half of that spent on each federal prisoner. At this point in time, student governments at multiple schools, including the Graduate School of Design, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Medical School, have taken steps towards this request. These schools have recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day, passed a resolution, or submitted a petition requesting this change.

  • 9Th March 2020
    9th March 2020 “We face two epidemics, one of disease the other of fear of that disease. Both threaten our health.” - David Ropeik, retired Harvard Instructor on Risk Communication As of Sunday, March 8th the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that over 100 countries have now reported laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19. Within Massachusetts, there have been 28 positive test results for COVID-19, according to the Department of Public Health. A lack of knowledge regarding coronavirus and its transmission has caused fear and anxiety across the globe. The number of people affected by the virus is on the rise, as are racism and xenophobia associated with the issue, particularly towards those with Asian heritage. In light of the recent attack of an Asian student in London, it is important to understand that this virus, like any virus, can be carried and transmitted by any human of any race. “Help stop fear by letting people know that being of Asian descent does not increase the chance of getting or spreading COVID-19.” - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The Harvard Graduate Council (HGC) requests the student body, administration and faculty at all 12 schools of Harvard, in solidarity with persons affected by coronavirus, to be mindful of inappropriate remarks and jokes centering around COVID-19. We the HGC urge the Harvard community to refrain from any xenophobic remarks about students, specifically students of Asian descent. We also urge the university to recognize the financial and mental health anxiety the disease is causing and act by providing adequate resources and academic/work flexibility to students and staff.

This resulted partly from belt-tightening efforts that trimmed our expenses substantially from the previous fiscal year, and partly from outstanding results in our Executive Education and Publishing groups, which managed strong contributions even in the face of significant industry-wide challenges. More than anything, though, this was the result of incredible foresight and leadership by the School’s ninth dean, Jay Light, who completed his tenure on June 30th.

Our intention is to help students understand and work on core leadership skills so that they enter the world primed for success. Our five fellowship programs account for over 40% of scholarships among the 11 HKS Centers: • Dubin Fellowships — Glenn Dubin designed his fellowships to serve Kennedy School Fellows Leadership Public Center for students who have demonstrated the ability to thrive and lead in the face of adversity, and a commitment to making a transformative impact on their communities. • George Fellowships — supported by Bill and Penny George, these fellowships provide a third-year capstone experience for students pursuing joint degrees at the Kennedy School and Harvard Business School. The program emphasizes character development. • Gleitsman Fellowships — these fellowships are offered to Kennedy School students who will become social innovators and social change agents. They grow out of a $25 million bequest by Alan Gleitsman that has endowed several programs at the Center. • Wexner Fellowships — these pioneering fellowships at HKS were established by the Wexner Foundation over 20 years ago, each year bringing eight to ten mid-career students from Israel. Wexner Fellows are not included in this book for security reasons. • Zuckerman Fellowships — with funding from Mort Zuckerman, this fellowship offers people in the fields of business, law, and medicine full scholarships plus stipends to pursue a public service degree from the Kennedy School, Graduate School of Education, or School of Public Health.
