No Recording of these sessions with phones or other devices
1. The World is Changing: What Now? Activism in 2025
Science Center 104
Moderator/facilitator Myles Lynk invites classmates to share their experience either continuing, or in some cases starting, their own activism in such areas as social, economic, racial and/or environmental justice. Possible topics could include your involvement with non-profit organizations, neighborhood or religious groups, political campaigns, or serving in government.
2. Reflections, Personal Challenges and Finding Resilience
Science Center 105
Moderator/facilitator Delia O'Connor invites classmates to continue the conversations begun in the Wednesday plenary session. Come to share brief reflections and stories about what we have learned, what keeps us up at night, what we hope for, what we celebrate, what transitions we weather - in our knees, our careers, our families — and how to make that u-turn into resilience and embracing change.
3. Trump 2.0—Democracy and the Rule of Law
Science Center 116
Moderator/facilitator Ric Redman invites classmates to share their views, concerns, and possible responses to what many perceive as the current threats to democracy and the rule of law globally, nationally, and at Harvard. How have the recent actions of the Trump Administration affected you, your family and friends, or your organizations.? What responses require group action and how would it be achieved? What can one do individually at this time?
4. Mentoring the Next Generation and Leaving a Legacy
Science Center 119
Moderator/facilitator Carol Potter invites classmates to share their experiences with the variety of ways in which they are leaving a legacy of service and transmission of their values to others, including grandparenting, starting or serving on the board of a non-profit, teaching, involvement with one's religious community, volunteering, and other activities. How are you trying to make the world a better place for others?
