Now comes the hard part: repetition and constant reinforcement
HARVARD ELECTIONS: For Board of Overseers elections, we recommend: Salvo Arena, Nisha Kumar Behringer, Trey Grayson, Alfredo Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena, and Philip Harrison. For Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) Elected Director elections, we recommend: Mia Esther Alpert, James P. “Jimmy” Biblarz, Allison Charney Epstein, Medha Gargeya, David Lefer, and Jakob Haesler.
In February, we explained that the mission statements of Harvard’s schools should function as a clear north star — an organizing principle that helps leaders set priorities, explain them, and return to them when the path forward is unclear. Harvard Medical School’s (HMS) mission statement at the time, centered on nurturing HMS’s own community, made that harder to do.
On Thursday, HMS published a new mission statementalongside a revised set of Community Values. With its revisions, HMS has made its north star clearer.
