FW: Announcing the President's Challenge 2013

[topborder.jpg] [http://content.mkt912.com/ra/2012/2521/10/4392415/officeofpresident.jpg] Dear Members of the Harvard Community: I am delighted to announce today the launch of the second President’s Challenge, which broadens the opportunity for all students and postdoctoral candidates to apply their passion and creative ideas toward meaningful contributions to the world around them. The President’s Challenge for social entrepreneurship was created last year<http://links.mkt3495.com/ctt?kn=8&ms=NDM5MjQxNQS2&r=MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1&b=0&j…> in conjunction with the Harvard Innovation Lab to encourage students from across the University to find important, high-impact solutions to the world’s most pressing social problems. Last year’s grand prize winner was Vaxess Technologies<http://links.mkt3495.com/ctt?kn=2&ms=NDM5MjQxNQS2&r=MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1&b=0&j…>, a company working to commercialize new technology that uses silk to stabilize vaccines and eliminate the need for refrigeration in transport and delivery. The President’s Challenge 2013<http://links.mkt3495.com/ctt?kn=6&ms=NDM5MjQxNQS2&r=MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1&b=0&j…> will focus on social and cultural entrepreneurship. The arts are increasingly prevalent in the cognitive life at Harvard, and the introduction of this category—in addition to learning, energy and environment, health, and disaster preparation and relief—expands the ways for student teams to harness their interests and put them into action. The highlights of the program, co-chaired by Provost Alan Garber and Professor Bill Sahlman, include workshops, networking events, the selection of ten finalist teams (with awards of $5,000 each to help them develop their ideas), a “Demo Day,” and the selection of a grand prize winner and up to three runners-up. These teams will share a $100,000 prize to help them make their plans a reality. The grand prize team also will be awarded work space in the i-lab. You can learn more about the timeline and requirements on the i-lab’s website<http://links.mkt3495.com/ctt?kn=3&ms=NDM5MjQxNQS2&r=MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1&b=0&j…>. We invite you to convene at the i-lab on October 18 at 6:00 p.m., where you will meet like-minded students interested in leveraging each other’s strengths and building a project together. You may register for the event here<http://links.mkt3495.com/ctt?kn=9&ms=NDM5MjQxNQS2&r=MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1&b=0&j…>. The President’s Challenge is yet another opportunity for students to translate ideas into action. I am looking forward to following the progress of the initiative alongside Harvard’s friends and alumni, and I encourage you to get involved. Sincerely, Drew Faust ©2012 President and Fellows of Harvard College | Harvard.edu<http://links.mkt3495.com/ctt?kn=7&ms=NDM5MjQxNQS2&r=MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1&b=0&j…> [http://open.mkt3495.com/open/log/4392415/MjE4MzYzMjk5MjkS1/0/MTMxNzc2MjM2S0…]

Fwd: Religion & politics event tomorrow

by Committee on the Study of Religion

So Help Me God: Religion and the Presidency Since John F. Kennedy 5:15 – 7pm Location: Sperry Room, Andover Hall, 45 Francis Ave. This timely lecture will be given by Randall Balmer<http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Ereligion/faculty/balmer-bio.html>, chair of the Religion Department and Mandel Family Professor of Arts and Sciences at Dartmouth College. John F. Kennedy's address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on September 12, 1960 ushered in an era of voter indifference to a candidate’s faith. This "Kennedy paradigm" persisted until the mid-1970s, when the corruptions of the Nixon administration paved the way for a Southern Baptist Sunday-school teacher to win the White House. The rise of the religious right during Jimmy Carter's presidency once again altered the relationship between religion and presidential politics. But for all of the religious rhetoric on the campaign trail, what does a candidate’s faith tell us about how he will govern? Please also join us for a second event on religion and the election on October 10: Religion and the Election: Does It Matter? 5:15 – 7pm Location: Common Room, CSWR, 42 Francis Ave. Please join us for a panel of four scholars who will speak on the relevance of different religions in this year's presidential election. The panelists are: J. Bryan Hehir<http://www.hks.harvard.edu/about/faculty-staff-directory/j.-bryan-hehir>, Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor of the Practice of Religion and Public Life at Harvard Kennedy School; Ruth Langer<http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/theology/faculty/rlanger.html>, Associate Professor of Theology and Associate Director Center for Christian Jewish Learning at Boston College; Max Perry Mueller<http://religionandpolitics.org/max-perry-mueller/>, associate editor of the online news journal Religion & Politics and current PhD candidate in the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard; and Jonathan Walton<http://www.hds.harvard.edu/people/faculty/jonathan-l-walton>, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, Pusey Minister in the Memorial Church, and Professor of Religion and Society at HDS. The panel will be moderated by Dan McKanan<http://www.hds.harvard.edu/people/faculty/dan-mckanan>, Ralph Waldo Emerson Unitarian Universalist Association Senior Lecturer in Divinity at HDS.
