Johnson Leadership Fellowship 74 David M. Rubenstein Fellowship 90 Wexner Israel Fellowship 114 Zuckerman Fellowship 126 Index of Fellows 147 - 148 Letter from the CPL Leadership Team At its core, the raison d’être of the Center for Public Leadership (CPL) is to provide the tools necessary for the next generation of ardent public servants to assume the mantle of responsible leadership. Fellows of CPL, past and present, have distinguished themselves as being among the most promising of their generation—having the capacity to assume this mantle—and are to be commended. Our mission during their time at CPL is to transform latent capacity into future action by providing the knowledge, experiences, and hands-on leadership learning enabling them to operate and contribute on stages both national and international. As a class you will collectively weave a broad tapestry of backgrounds—cultural, educational, economic, religious, and geo- political. Each of you will be greatly enriched by these experiences and the opportunity to learn from one another—and CPL will learn and grow with you. We are grateful to the nine donors highlighted herein who recognize this tapestry and provide robust fellowships through our Center at the Kennedy School, allowing each fellow to go forward in making the world a better place.

    Introduction Introduction This student handbook is provided to inform you of the academic policies and rules of conduct that apply to resident and nonresident Summer School students. It also describes resources available at Harvard and opportuni- ties available in the Greater Boston area that will help make your summer a rewarding one. Please read the handbook carefully and keep it for reference throughout the summer. The Harvard Summer School is governed by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which approves its curriculum and instructional staff. The academic policies and student regulations of the Summer School are consistent with those in effect during the regular academic year. The Administrative Board for Harvard Summer School decides on exceptions to the stated rules and on matters of discipline arising during the summer session. The chief administrative officer of the Summer School is the Dean of the Summer School, who is responsible for all aspects of its operation. Mat- ters relating to course enrollment, academic services, and final exams are the responsibilities of the Registrar. The Office of the Dean of Students serves as the principal source of information about Summer School policies and procedures, directs student housing and activities, and provides information on resources and activities in Cambridge and Boston. If you have questions about any of the Summer School rules, policies, or resources that are described in this handbook, please call upon the staff for assistance or advice. On behalf of the Summer School faculty and staff, I wish you a rewarding and challenging summer experience.
