...first phases of thinking about January,” wrote Joseph L. Badaracco, senior associate dean and chair of the MBA program at the Business School, in an e-mailed statement. He added that the school has not yet decided whether to make the J-term mandatory...
...also took the stage to speak about the Joey Hanzich Memorial Travel and Research Fund, which will provide money to juniors and seniors pursuing summer internships in an area of global or public health. Ricky’s brother, former Vice President of the Harvard College Democrats Joseph M. Hanzich ’06 died of a sudden heart attack last September.

More remarkably, when mice that had been genetically altered to express Alzheimer's were put on the blueberry diet, they did not experience memory loss. Joseph's research has shown some similar benefits from walnuts...
