Harvard board elects new member

December 4, 2005

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --A Georgetown University Law
professor who specializes in biomedical ethics was
elected Sunday to become a member of Harvard's top
governing board, the university announced.

Patricia A. King, a 1969 alumna of Harvard Law School
who has been on the Georgetown faculty for more than
three decades, was elected to the seven-member Harvard
Corporation.

The election comes as the university continues to
develops the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. Researchers
hope to find treatments for illnesses such as diabetes
and multiple sclerosis. Critics say some of the
research crosses a troubling ethical boundary.

King is "a person of extraordinarily broad
intellectual and professional interests" with
"abundant experience in bridging the worlds of
academia and public policy, as well as the domains of
law, science, and ethics," James R. Houghton, senior
member of the Harvard Corporation, said in a prepared
statement.

King said she's "deeply honored." She begins in May.

"The extremely difficult challenges facing the nation
and the world over the coming decades will require
substantial efforts and contributions by our
institutions of higher education," King said in a
statement.

She fills the vacancy left by Conrad K. Harper, who
resigned this summer over a proposed raise to
university President Lawrence H. Summers. Harper also
cited his dissatisfaction with Summers' controversial
comments about women's aptitude for science and math,
as a reason for his resignation.

The Harvard Corporation makes policy and personnel
decisions, including hiring the president and electing
board members.

Perry Gregg Exclusive Q&A With Larry Summers: "Outreach Maverick Leader With Plans To Expand Harvard"

Q&A: Larry Summers Outreach Maverick Leader With Plans
To Expand Harvard?

Perry Gregg, Entry for harvardsf.org

Wednesday, November 30, 2005

San Francisco, California - At Harvard's 27th
president, Larry Summer's behest, Cooper, Robertson &
Partners, Gehry Partners and Olin Partnership were
hired as a team in July 2004 to develop a flexible
framework for Harvard's development in Allston, MA.

They expect to finalize the planning framework by the
end of the current academic year and it will be filed
with the City of Boston as part of the University's
new "Institutional Master Plan" proposal.

There are tours to sign up to see the transformation
to the 352 acres of land Harvard owns in Allston
including the possibility of a public transit line. [
Info is available by contacting
mailto:allston@harvard.edu . ] Who is going to
populate the expanded Harvard?

Rallying support for the Allston campus expansion
Harvard's President Summers, was in San Francisco the
evening of Nov 9th, 2005 for a dinner with Bay Area
alumni/ae downtown at the Marriott. As part of his
visit President Summers consented to an exclusive
interview with Perry Gregg answering questions on
Harvard's Outreach program. Before and after the
controversy surrounding Summers' remarks on gender
earlier this year, Summers has made "outreach"
statements and followed through changing policy and
plans at Harvard (Class of 2009 mostly women, campus
composition 40% minorities); actions arguably
indicating he is a maverick civil rights and
educational leader, one of the most exemplary Harvard
has seen. The following is a question and answer
discussion with President Summers.

* * *

"Our doors have long been open to talented students
regardless of financial need but many students simply
do not know or believe this. We are determined to
change both the perception and the reality."
- President L.H. Summers, February 29, 2004

[ http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/hfai/ ]

Question 1: Why does Harvard College want to change
"the perception and reality" of the doors being open
to these students? What metrics does Harvard use to
decide that they have an appropriate mix of students
for a given admitted Class year?

"Universities serve society in many ways and one of
the most important is by promoting equal opportunity.
It is a sad but true that today the most able poor
students are less likely to attend college than the
least able rich students and that in the Ivy League,
less than 10 percent of the students come from the
lower half of the income distribution.

Cutbacks in financial aid and decreasing access to
public higher education are exacerbating this trend.
At Harvard in order to counteract these trends and to
promote equal opportunity we instituted a new
financial aid initiative where students whose family
income is under $40,000 will not be asked for any
family contribution toward the cost of attending
Harvard College.

We are looking for the most promising students that we
can find. There are not any targets or goals but it
is important that students wishing to attend Harvard
should not be limited by their financial
circumstances."

* * *

Question 2: Harvard College had an "uptick" in the
percentage of applicants that applied for the
application fee wavier for the Class of 2009
admissions cycle after you said this; implying that
more prospective students were starting to believe
Harvard was a possibility irrespective of financial
need. How is the plan going from your perspective?

"I mentioned that for this year's entering class of
undergraduates, parents in families with incomes of
less than $40,000 are no longer expected to contribute
to the cost of their children's Harvard education. We
have also reduced the contributions for families with
incomes between $40,000 and $60,000. These increases
in financial aid, coupled with an aggressive new
recruiting program staffed by current Harvard students
from low-income backgrounds, have increased by 22
percent the number of first-year students in the
qualifying income ranges. I am pleased, but we have
much work ahead of us if we are to maximize our
contribution to achieving equality of opportunity."

* * *

"We have also taken steps at the graduate level to
assure that students who wish to pursue careers in
public service are not deterred because of finances.
Last year we established a $14 million Presidential
Scholars program to fund top master's and doctoral
students choosing careers in fields such as education,
public health, and government service."
- President L.H. Summers, 2004

[
http://www.president.harvard.edu/speeches/2004/ace.html
]

Question 3: How is the program for master's and
doctoral students working out? What about other
fields not covered by the $14 million dollar
Presidential Scholars program?

"We are placing special emphasis on strengthening
financial aid for outstanding graduate students in
fields where expected income is not high but expected
value to society is great. One consequence of
Harvard's "every tub on its own bottom" system, by
which individual Schools are largely responsible for
raising and managing their own resources, is that the
Schools whose students most need financial aid are
often those least able to provide it.

In recent years, we have taken several major steps
toward addressing this concern, including guaranteeing
fifth-year support for all Ph.D. students and
providing greater financial aid resources for Ph.D.
students generally, resulting in a substantial
increase in the yield rate in many of our Ph.D.
programs.

As you mentioned, we established the Presidential
Scholars program to provide financial support to
outstanding master's and doctoral students preparing
for careers in public service or in the academic
disciplines. Since launching the program in the
2003-04 academic year, we have allocated over $14.5
million to more than 200 graduate and professional
school students selected by their Schools. We are
currently in the process of extending and expanding
the program for future years.

We have also established a sub-prime interest rate
loan program for graduate students, domestic or
international, up to the cost of attendance at
Harvard, with loan volume now totaling approximately
$100 million.

In addition, the new Zuckerman and Reynolds
[Foundation?] fellowship programs, established this
past year, annually fund 46 master's and doctoral
students preparing for careers that serve society.

The University still has a long way to go toward
assuring that the most talented students are drawn
into careers that address our society's most important
needs, and we continue to have as a top priority
improving access to all of our Harvard programs for
talented students regardless of their financial
circumstances."

* * *

"In short, we need to recognize that the most serious
domestic problem in the United States today is the
widening gap between the children of the rich and the
children of the poor, and education is the most
powerful weapon we have to address that problem. Let
us make sure that the American dream is a possible
dream for every child in the nation."

- President L.H. Summers, 2004

[
http://www.president.harvard.edu/speeches/2004/ace.html
]

Question 4: What can we do in San Francisco and the
Bay Area to help the children of the poor with
education and to preserve and sustain the American
dream?

"I think that the obvious answer is for people to get
involved in the civic and educational life of their
communities. There are many organizations that are
dedicated to improving the educational opportunities
for children from lower income families. They are
doing great work and I know that additional support is
always welcomed."

* * *

Question 5: When you speak Nov. 9th, 2005 to San
Francisco and Bay Area alumni/ae, what will be your
message to them? Will you say anything about the
Outreach program and HFAI?

"I [p]lan on discussing how a university like Harvard
that is so fortunate -- in the remarkable students we
are able to attract, in the brilliance of our faculty,
in our physical and financial resources -- can best
serve not just our students and faculty but the larger
society, which understandably looks to universities to
make a positive difference in the world."

* * *

Question 6: It is true that admission to Harvard for
financially challenged students and families can make
a huge difference in their future. Isn't it also true
that Harvard needs the contribution of these students
to keep itself relevant, vibrant and on the leading
edge?

"This increase contributes to the diversity of
backgrounds and perspectives that has long brought
strength to our student body. With only about
one-sixth of the College's students coming from
families in the lower half of the American income
distribution, however, and indications of similar
patterns elsewhere in the University, as I said
earlier, we have much work ahead of us if we are to
maximize our contribution to achieving equality of
opportunity.

Increasing access to higher education is an area where
we should not be looking to "win." When Yale and
Princeton decided to adopt financial aid programs much
like ours, I thought it was terrific. Making progress
on these issues is an important challenge for all of
us."

* * *

[ http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=
/c/a/2005/04/05/DROPOUTS.TMP ]

Question 7: The Harvard University Civil Rights
project this year put the Oakland, CA dropout rate at
potentially 52%. What are your thoughts about this?

"The study draws attention to the fact that we must
address the pipeline to higher education. One of the
ways Harvard is trying to address the issue in the
Boston area is through the Crimson Summer Academy -- a
program for disadvantaged students starting in the
ninth grade, through the summer after eleventh grade,
designed to prepare for admission to selective
colleges. Welcoming students into this program was as
rewarding as any experience that I've had at Harvard
in the last year. I believe that programs like this
one can make a great contribution to promoting equal
opportunity in this country."

* * *

Question 8: What changes at Harvard these days make
you most proud?

"I think I'm proudest of the immense variety of ways
in which people at Harvard are making a difference."

Larry Summers closed his remarks to the grads that
evening at the lectern in San Francisco by saying if
we are going to error let it be while we are doing too
much not too little.

Harvard In New & Old Europe

[See also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harvard-europe
. Perry]

"Europe has witnessed explosive growth recently in the
number of its Harvard Clubs. In the past three years,
eleven new Harvard Clubs have been created: four in
"old Europe"—Denmark, Ireland, Italy, and Monaco —and
seven fledgling clubs, most with memberships of fewer
than 50 alumni each, in Eastern and Central
Europe-Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Romania and
Moldova, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, and Turkey.

There are now 30 clubs in Europe, with a club in
Russia being created, and contact persons in Norway
and the Baltic States. Clubs in Israel and Lebanon are
included in our regional activities, given their
proximity. Eckart Brödermann LLM '83, President of the
Harvard Club of Hamburg, launched a draft European
Clubs Directory a year ago and now finds he has his
work cut out for him to include all the new clubs.

Europe represents a third of Harvard's international
alumni.

Alumni in Europe number approximately 14,900, which
represents more than a third of Harvard's 34,300
"active" international alumni (alumni with valid
addresses). Sixty-eight percent of Harvard alumni in
Europe are concentrated in four countries (UK 5,300,
France 2,000, Germany 1,600, and Switzerland 1,300).
More than a third of alumni in Europe live in the
United Kingdom. Another five countries have between
400 and 750 alumni: Belgium, Greece, Italy, the
Netherlands, and Sweden."

[David L. Evans] "Gangsta Rap's Influence"

Perry,

In his New York Times column on Thursday (Nov. 10,
2005), David Brooks described the plight, world-view
and violent rage of the young men who have rioted in
France for almost two weeks. He related that many of
them have adopted a modified form of American hip-hop
and gangsta rap music and how it fuels their
bitterness, hopelessness and self-destruction. He
ends his column, however, with a paragraph about
American students and their attitudes toward gangsta
rap. He suggests that the music and the lifestyle
associated with it are like a game that most of these
students will abandon when they go off to college.
Unfortunately, while they play this game, too many of
these mostly middle-class students with media and
market influence, romanticize the rapper's lifestyle.
They unwittingly make it a vague measure of macho
"authenticity," especially to millions of young black
males.

I responded to the column with a letter and it is
published today in the Times.

Best regards

David

The New York Times
November 12, 2005

Gangsta Gottabes

To the Editor:

David Brooks concludes ("Gangsta, in French," column,
Nov. 10) that in the United States, gangsta rap, with
its menacing lyrics about crime, racism and misogyny,
is like a game that can be discarded by most students
as they head off to college.

Not long ago, that would have described racial
division, but more and more, it describes class
division.

This new class division has caused some interesting
behavior, especially among middle-class black youth.
Most have never been a part of the lifestyle depicted
in gangsta rap, yet they are often expected (or feel
obligated) to represent what the rappers are saying.

There have always been class differences among
African-Americans, but in the past, segregation didn't
permit us much physical distance. Unlike the gangsta
wannabes today, 50 years ago even civil rights
fighters adhered to behavioral limits.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn't feel a need
to use the language of prison gangs to garner "street"
legitimacy with black folk.

[Beijing] World-Class Innovation Management for Government & Business

For more information, please check out Harvard Club of
Beijing's website at
http://www.beijingharvardclub.com/index.htm

Dear Alumni:

Greetings from the Harvard Club of Beijing!

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you
of the preparatory work we have done thus far to host
the upcoming "10th Harvard Forum" in Beijing on
December 4, 2005 at the Kerry Center Hotel and solicit
your feedback and assistance to make the event better.

As detailed in the attached Program Schedule, the
topic of this day-long event in Beijing is
"World-Class Innovation Management for Government &
Business", with the aim of leveraging our alumni
network resources to establish a one-day platform for
sharing of government and industry experiences on the
topic of innovation management.

We have been very fortunate to have obtained the
acceptance from the following distinguished guests to
be our keynote speakers this year:

* Harvard Business School Professor David Yoffie
* Mayor Wang Qishan of the Beijing Municipal
Government

After the keynote speeches, there will be four
industry and one government panel discussions during
which at least one Chinese as well as one non-Chinese
panelists will share their experiences and views under
the guidance of a moderator. We hope through
sino-foreign comparisons and contrasts each panel will
generate new thoughts and insight for all of us.

To make the 10th Harvard Forum a successful one, the
Organizing Committee would highly appreciate your
assistance with the following:

1. Suggest and/or invite top executives from IT,
real estate, financial and auto industries to
participate as panelists
2. Obtain sponsorships for the event

Please contact the following Organizing Committee
members if you have any suggestions and/or leads for
the above:

* Larry Kung (13901165942, lkung@iptv.com.cn)
* William Xu (13801356253, whui@chainshine.com)

You will be receiving another email in November with
the final invitation and details for the event. We
look forward to your support and attendance.

Nov. 9th 6 PM 555 California, SF: Stephen Cauley, Ph.D, UCLA Anderson RE Bubble Lecture

The Effects of a Rising Interest Rate Environment on
Commercial and Residential Real Estate in California

When: November 9, 2005
Time: 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Sponsor: UCLA - Anderson School - Bay Area

Talk of a Real Estate Bubble has dominated the news

the underlying dynamics of the real estate market.
With a record percentage of Americans owning their own
homes, most of us have a vested interest in knowing
where the market is headed. Please join fellow Bay
Area Alumni for an informative presentation and
interactive panel discussion featuring noted real
estate academics and industry luminaries.

Keynote Speaker: Stephen Cauley, Ph.D, Anderson
Lecturer and Ziman Center Director of Research

Featured UCLA Alumni: Greg Alden, Woodside Hotels and
Resorts David Griffin, First Horizon Bank

When: November 9, 2005

Alonzo King's LINES Ballet's Nov 6 (Sunday)

Come join [local Harvard SF grads] in seeing Alonzo King's LINES Ballet's world premier of the Moroccan Project at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on Nov 6 (Sunday) evening! [We] will meet at 5p at the Sanraku Restaurant in Metreon to sample a a wonderful "omakase" sushi dinner specially prepared by the chef Shinji Nakamura, who also practices tea ceremony. Drinks will be charged separately.

Ticket prices are $45, $55 and $65 including sushi and the different discounted and preferred seating for the ballet. Please reserve this special event by Oct 28 (Friday)! Contact Esther Tsoi, conceptualisez@gmail.com for more information.

"The luminous choreography of Alonzo King's LINES Ballet finds an irresistible source of musical inspiration in the traditions of Morocco. The Company's extraordinary dancers etch the stage with clean, brilliant lines. Moroccan musicians, playing live for these performances, fuse the drumming of Gnawa ceremonies with the plaintive tones of oud (lute) and violin, while the haunting voices of women singing devotional and love songs echo their rich timbres. These intricate musical layers give the dancers of LINES Ballet a rhythmic landscape in which they explore the nuances of community, harmony and unexpected moments of beauty."

LINES Ballet will also be performing at the de Young Museum's opening on Oct 15 (Sat) at 5p.

Harvard Outreach Alameda County Class Of 2010, Call For Challenged Gifted Students Please

[Please post this message to your respective group
lists. Perry]

I am a local Chairperson this year for the Harvard
interview process and again co-Chair for the Harvard
Outreach Scholarship Committee in Alameda County.

As part of the Outreach program we (1) have a team of
local Harvard grads who will come to your school and
talk to the kids or designated educators about the
process and about the College and how you get there.
We are particularly interested in gifted kids from
disadvantaged backgrounds. We want to help them get
access to the best schools; be it Harvard or somewhere
else. Last month we visited H. J. Kaiser Elementary
School in Oakland and talked to 10-11 year children in
the GATE program there. (2) As I asked last year, I
need to know about all gifted but challenged financial
situation applicants that are in the area. Have their
parents contact me directly if they are applying to
Harvard for early admission or otherwise.
http://harvard.edu is the source you have to follow to
apply to Harvard; adhere to the rules you'll find on
the web site. My Committee works directly with the
Admissions Office and is designed to help kids and
families in the aforementioned category as an addition
to that process.

The Outreach Committee has a discussion list for
Alameda County parents, students and educators; please
subscribe if you are interested:

[David L. Evans Inducted] Arkansas Black Hall of Fame Recognition

-----Original Message-----
From: David L. Evans [mailto:dlevans@fas.harvard.edu]
Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2005 9:56 AM
To: Gregg, Perry
Subject: Arkansas Black Hall of Fame Recognition

Perry,

For some blessed reason (possibly a flight of compassion), a committee of Arkansans recently voted to include me in the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. This generous group of men and women somehow saw fit to place me in the company of the following previous inductees:

Scipio Africanus Jones, renowned Civil Rights lawyer in the early 20^th Century whose most famous effort freed 12 black men who had been railroaded and sentenced to death in a 1919 race riot in Phillips County. Their freedom came via a 1923 U. S. Supreme Court decision (Moore v. Dempsey) presided over by Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Eliza R. Miller, Eponymous benefactor of my high school whose 1925 gift of land and money made possible the first high school for African Americans in Phillips County, Arkansas

William Grant Still, Classical composer and first African American to conduct a major American symphony orchestra (1936)

Daisy Gaston Bates, President of NAACP in Little Rock during 1957 School Integration Crisis

John H. Johnson, Founder of Johnson Publications and Publisher of Ebony and Jet Magazines.

Maya Angelou, Poet, Author, Educator

Samuel Lee Kountz, MD, Pioneering kidney transplant surgeon who participated in one of the first transplants in 1959 and went on to win several awards for distinction at Stanford and University of California, Berkeley Medical Schools.

M. Joycelyn Elders, MD, U. S. Surgeon General in Clinton Administration

Ernest Green, First of “Little Rock Nine” to graduate from Central High School, Assistant Secretary of Labor in Carter Administration

William Jefferson Clinton, (Honorary Member), 42^nd President of the United States

Edward Moore, Jr., Vice Admiral, U. S. Navy and Commander of Naval Surface Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet

Dr. Grover Evans, Paralympic (Parallel Olympics for athletes with disabilities) Gold Medalist and first African American to swim in the Paralympics in Barcelona in 1992. Holder of several world records.

Rodney E. Slater, U. S. Secretary of Transportation in Clinton Administration

Debbye Turner, Miss America in 1990

I will rush down to Little Rock for the induction ceremony on Saturday, October 15, 2005, before something akin to identity theft is suspected (smile).

HALLELUJAH!!


Best regards

The Divide Laid Bare by Katrina

The New York Times

September 10, 2005

The Divide Laid Bare by Katrina

To the Editor:

As it does for Nicholas D. Kristof, New Orleans
reminds me of South Asia, too.

Many years ago I saw a black and white film about
India where bodies floated in the Ganges River,
beggars seemed ubiquitous and untethered animals
wandered the streets. Yet, in spite of these
unbelievable spectacles, pedestrians simply went about
their business.

When I asked a student from India his views on what we
had seen, he replied that the film was a grossly
distorted view of his country. He did admit, however,
that it would probably take decades to overcome the
chilling images depicted in the film.

He was correct, but fortunate to a degree. Unlike New
Orleans, the Indian misery wasn't in the richest
country on earth and instantly transmitted around the
world via the Internet and satellites - for days and
perhaps months.

Tracy Reiman Not Nice PETA Ad Campaign VP's E-mail & Number

Add "Drowning" Rollover: Not Nice Action By Your Animal Rights Org. PETA

Tracy,

I understand that you are the VP at PETA in charge of
this campaign:
http://www.peta.org/AnimalLiberation/display.asp

You are missing out on an opportunity to update your
web site above to include brown people drowning side
by side with brown cows in New Orleans -- a "Drowning"
rollover.

Could be powerful considering what people are feeling
about the images they are seeing out of Southern
Louisiana after the hurricane. That is what you are
about isn't it; anything to draw attention to your
cause? Why stop at what I see at the above URL? If
you add New Orleans to the mix floating bodies,
floating animals at a bad lab; you get more publicity.
That is what you want is it not?

[See my web log http://harvard-sf.blogspot.com for my
original comment on your animals rights campaign above
and that I thought it was not nice.]

Holly Brewer, associate professor of history at North
Carolina State University, has written By Birth or
Consent: Children, Law, and the Anglo-American
Revolution in Authority (UNC), which examines how the
changing legal status of children from the sixteenth
to the eighteenth century influenced the development
of democratic political theory and emphasized the
importance of consent over birthright and status.

Simulations, an exhibition of paintings by New York-based
painter Jonathan Feldschuh, was on display at the
Cynthia Broan Gallery in New York City in June and
July. The paintings are based on scientific imagery,
simulations that are typically created by researchers
to study complex, chaotic phenomena. The exhibition
also featured his Trajectories series, inspired by
records of trajectories recorded in particle accelerators.
A previous series, Macrocosm, was inspired by NASA
satellite imagery.

Due to the merger between PNC Bank and Riggs Bank, Wayne
Hunley has moved from his hometown of Pittsburgh to
Washington, D.C., where he will be managing PNC's
corporate banking business in the metropolitan D.C. area.
He and his family (wife. Sue, and sons Patrick, Greg, and
Mark) live in Bethesda. "[I] would love to hear about
opportunities to get involved in alumni activities in
the area." Contact him at wayne.hunley@pnc.com.

Russell Riopelle and Olivia Secrest Riopelle have two
daughters, Kelly (7) and Camille (5), and live in West
Los Angeles. Russell is CFO for Cherokee Inc., a publicly
traded glc brae. inagement and licensing company Olivia
is a le time mom, "which Russell readily admits is much
harder than his job. Russell has gotten into serous body
surfing and has been traveling (Baja_ Costa Rica) with
David Twite '84 to seek out great waves to surf.

Olivia has been super-busy as a mom, but also manages
to find time for her passions as well. We look forward
to seeing everyone (and their kids) at the 20-year
reunion next year."

Mark A. Jankowski and Ronald M. Shapiro, J.D. '67,
have coauthored Bullies, Tyrants and Impossible People

[From Mark Carter] "Theatre-Dead Certain at the Next Stage"

"A number of Harvard grads have asked me to post
something to the [harvard-sf] blog when I see good
shows. Here's a pretty good and inexpensive show:

Dead Certain presented by Expression Theatre Ensemble
at the Next Stage Theatre at 1620 Gough Street in San
Francisco, Thursday-Sunday through September 11.

The grads can visit http://expressiontheatre.net for
more info."

I was there. He went on to get his doctorate in

Not Nice Action By Animal Rights Org. PETA

David Evans, FAS at Harvard, made me aware this
morning that PETA has a promotion going that equates
injustice to Blacks in the U.S. to animal
mistreatment.

Here is the program (apologies it is disturbing):
http://www.peta.org/AnimalLiberation/display.asp

Here is an article about it:
http://slate.msn.com/id/2124601/nav/tap1/

Everyone can draw their own conclusions; as a person
trying to work with disadvantaged youth in Oakland,
many of them Black Americans, I will say that now does
not seem to be the time for PETA to leverage the Black
experience in America to change animal treatment
practices. The imagery is powerful but not
appropriate and fair. I am for animal rights. I do
not think this exhibit is nice. If anyone has
contacts at PETA please let me know. Regards.

EARN Non-Profit With Deep Harvard Roots

"EARN, a local non profit organization with
deep Harvard roots, has been named one of ten
finalists in the prestigious Amazon.com Non
Profit Innovation Award.

EARN helps to build assets for the working
poor (average family income is $17,700) by
providing financial management training,
matched savings accounts, and free bank accounts.
EARN's activities focus mainly on Individual
Development Accounts (IDAs), which matches
the savings of working poor families on a 2:1
basis in a custodial account. Recipients can
only use the money for college education, small
business, or home ownership. EARN's impact is
tremendous, nearly 800 families are saving an
average of $75 per month. Over $1.5 million has
been saved, and over $175,000 has already been
invested in homes, educations and small
businesses. EARN's success is creating a model
for fighting poverty on a national and global
scale. EARN may be a small nonprofit but their
strategy for fighting poverty is getting some
big attention. EARN's work has recently been
featured on NPR and in BusinessWeek, and they
were named a Fast Company Social Capitalist of
the Year for 2005.

Where You Can Help: In the next six weeks,
Amazon.com will enable the public to make
contributions to the ten finalist organizations,
with the organization collecting the most
donations winning a matching grant up to $1
million. Each dollar EARN raises through
individuals is also matched by government funds,
so if EARN wins, it could mean up to $4 million
dollars for 1,000 working-poor families to invest
in life-changing assets like first homes, higher
education and small businesses.

Help a Local Cause Created and Guided by Harvard
Alums: Vote for EARN by donating online through
EARN's page at

Please give as much as you are able and pass this
message along to friends and family ASAP. If you

Harvard Grad Kaiser Elementary Visit Oakland, CA

Jill the educator at H. J. Kaiser Elementary School in
Oakland (who made the request for Harvard grads to
visit her class) and I have exchanged voicemails. The
possible dates are one of the following: Sept. 6, 7,
9, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21 or 23 [2005]. Please respond to
just me and let me know if one of these days and which
does not work for you; then I'll pick a day where the
most of us can possibly attend and let the To list
above know. Jill is excited to have us come by. If
there are a few of us attending we can take the time
to talk to students individually and better cover
questions. It will be nice for them to see that there
are many different types of 'us' and that they clearly
fit in to where Harvard and the other Ivys would like
to be when it is their time to apply.

Oct. 29th College Fair In Oakland Representing Harvard

Can I get a volunteer or two from our ranks to
represent Harvard with me at a College Fair the Lionel
Wilson Prep Academy is hosting at 400 105th Ave. in
Oakland Oct. 29th, 2005? Yes I'll send whoever
volunteers a reminder when we get closer to that date.
The Admissions Office got a letter from the school
and I need to confirm by fax in the next two weeks who
will be attending. Someone who when paired with me
would be approachable representing the College at the
event is what I was asked to find [as if I am not
love-able enough on my own]. Send me a phone number
and your year and major please so I can put that on
the fax. And it is fine if you are grad school and
not an alumnus of the College. Regards.

Google & Yahoo Groups harvard-sf One List Push

One thing to potentially look forward to is I've
started discussions with Google to see if we can work
out a wrapper and links between Yahoo and Google
groups for harvard-sf (as a pilot project this summer;
suggested we put College interns on the experiment).

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harvard-sf/
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/harvard-sf

You could sign up and post to either and there would
be only one resultant list to navigate. Similar to
Google's position and way of dealing with Usenet. If
it works for us they could tessellate a bigger project
from there. Regards.

Mentorship Forum (Thurs June 30, 2005, 7:00-9:45 PM)

"From: Ken Green,
Director of Mentorship
Harvard Club of Silicon Valley (HCSV)

Invitation to Harvard's Joint Mentorship Forum
----------------------------------------------

You are invited to attend the Harvard Club of Silicon
Valley's Joint Mentorship Forum scheduled for Thursday
June 30, 2005 from 7:00-9:45PM at Arthur's Restaurant
(2875 Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara, CA. 95054. (408)
980-1666. [Directions are at the bottom]

As you may know, the Joint Mentorship Program itself
is a volunteer program which matches people within
and between alumni clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area
on all subjects of mentorship. For example,
someone in the Princeton Club of Northern California
who wants to be a mentor in engineering might be
matched with someone in the Harvard Club of Silicon
Valley who wants to be a mentee in engineering. We
make such matches for all fields and subject matters.
We make local, remote, and internet matches.

There are 16 different alumni clubs in the Bay Area
that are involved in the matching program, including
those for Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Princeton,
Brown, Cambridge, Oxford, Mount Holyoke, Smith,
Vassar, CAL State University at Hayward, Texas A&M,
and Wellesley. Anyone who wants to be matched can
fill-out the attached sign-up form, email the sign-up
form to Ken Green (kgreen@post.harvard.edu) and he
will email the contact information for your match.
It's a free matching program!

But even if you are not signing-up for the the
mentorship match program, you are still invited to
attend the Joint Mentorship Forum/Conference on
Thursday June 30th, and bring others as well.

To make the venue convenient for networking, the venue
will be divided by industry areas. As examples, there
will be areas for engineers, lawyers, doctors,
writers, miscellaneous, etc.

The guest speaker will be Peter Han, a graduate of
Harvard University, and author of a book published by
Penguin Putnam called Nobodies to Somebodies: How 100
Great Careers Got Their Start. The book centers on
interviews that he did with 100 leaders in different
fields: Fortune 500 CEO's on business; Nobel Prize
winners in science; Senators, Governors, and Cabinet
members in politics; Emmy, Oscar, Tony, Pulitzer, and
Grammy winners in the arts; and others. In his book,
he specifically addresses the topic of mentorship and
how many leaders develop situational mentors
different people who help them at specific junctures
in their lives, in different ways rather than a
single, lifelong mentor. He also discusses the
different ways in which the 100 leaders benefited from
their mentors: domain expertise, professional
contacts, and particular job opportunities.

Peter Han will have a book-signing after his speech at
the forum.

There will be an information table at the entrance of
the forum. Each person will be charged $10 at the
entrance. [For those people who signed-up for the
match program in advance, the most current match list
will be on the information table].

There will be a no host bar where you can order drinks
and appetizers (seafood and Italian) upstairs in the
Mesentery of the restaurant.

Bring plenty of business cards to pass out to
contacts. There will be a bowl for business cards
on the table at the entrance. At 8:30 PM, a random
card will be selected from the bowl and the winner
will receive a Starbucks gift card.

The program for the evening will be as follows:
-----------------------------------------------
7:00 - 7:45 PM People arrive and begin networking.

7:45 - 8:00 PM Introduction of Program.

8:00 - 8:30 PM Peter Han Speaks.

8:30 - 8:35 PM Card Drawing for Star Bucks gift

Public Oakland Elementary School Teacher Seeks Grads To Talk To Her Class

Received an e-mail yesterday. A public school teacher
in a challenged area of Oakland would like a couple of
alums to talk to her elementary school class about
going to Harvard and what it takes to do so. She has
a number of gifted students from many backgrounds and
cultures she says. This will occur when the school
year kicks back up again after the summer. If you
would like to volunteer to talk to these kids please
let me know off-line of the list. I hope to have at
least 2 people going and more would be appreciated I'm
sure.

site http://www.harvard.edu . Other school admission
policies are documented there too.

Forwarding For Bom Kim '00 Citing Summers' Articles

"Mr. Gregg,

I know that you manage and belong to some Yahoo Groups
on the West Coast (and perhaps even elsewhere), and I
thought you and the other Harvard alumni that you have
access to might find this interesting: it is a story
that just broke in the media about a new poll on the
alumni's opinion of Summers.

The New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/05/education/05harvard.html

Boston Globe:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/06/05/

alumni_back_summers_magazine_poll_indicates/

[place above on one browser line]

You can find the full poll results and article at
www.02138mag.com

If you find these interesting, I would appreciate your
help in spreading the word about 02138 and the poll to
our fellow alumni. Our fall issue will feature 'The
Harvard 100' the 100 most powerful Harvard alumni
which should be a fun and informative piece about the
fascinating successes of our community.

I hope you find the magazine compelling and thank you
in advance for your help.

Best,

Bom Kim '00"
