Resource Guide Harvard Medical School Orientation and Resource Guide Updated May 2020 PREFACE Welcome the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Community! This Orientation Guide is published by the Office for Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership (DICP) to help incoming faculty, fellows, residents, and students become acquainted with the Harvard Medical School campus, its affiliated hospitals, and the surrounding areas. As a resource for underserved and marginalized communities, this guide delves into sources of support at Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, affiliated institutions, and beyond. This guide features services that cater to minority consumers, as well as other businesses, services and resources in the greater Boston area, including diversity-related offices and faculty development offices at HMS and affiliates. In addition to these offices, Harvard University programs, organizations, and safety resources provide community members with a sense of belonging and security. Not only does this guide depict the HMS community, but it illustrates neighboring communities through restaurants, local events, multicultural festivals, museums, concert halls, and more.

Appendix – MBTA Specs VISION ZERO CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC INFORMATION PLAN JUNE 2019 Vision Zero Strategic Communications Goals Working with Vision Zero and City of Cambridge staff, we have identified a number of strategic communications goals for the Vision Zero initiative as it relates to the public education component of the action plan. A comprehensive and successful public relations strategy will only be achieved by knowing the objectives that the organization wishes to attain. As such, below we have outlined the recommendations for Vision Zero’s strategic communications goals based on our discussion: 1. Develop an easy-to-understand but relevant message for those living in Cambridge and those who drive through it regarding the need for slower, safer driving. 2. Communicate that Cambridge wants to see ZERO car crashes that result in fatalities or serious bodily harm for those walking and biking in Cambridge. The audience is all who use Cambridge streets, including but not limited to drivers, with the recognition that those who will benefit will most likely be pedestrians and bicyclists. 3. Deliver a toolbox of baseline ideas, as well as creative ones, to deliver this message. 4. Develop a set of recommended media partners to approach or to deliver an ad campaign 5.

  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.
