...Ameer was previously responsible for advising the 36 visiting students from the Gulf coast displaced by Hurricane Katrina this fall. Lambert-Sluder’s new role will place him in charge of the over 180 peer advisers hand-picked in April. He will also monitor future efforts to select, train, and evaluate these peer advisors. Lambert-Sluder, a recent Currier House graduate, was hired by the College last year to work on Curricular Review reforms. The peer advising program is the APO’s first large step towards reforming undergraduate advising, and the office will work extensively this...
While most Harvard affiliates are taking the summer off, Katey Stone—the head coach of the women’s hockey team—is taking a new summer job. On Wednesday, USA Hockey named Stone coach of the U.S. Women’s National Under-22 Select Team.

"He can say, 'Look at Zapatero, this is what really underlies European secularism.' In Spain, he will look like he's articulating what...
...social security and a student ID card. But the 23,000 or 24,000 others are still twice too many: many of them aren't really made for this kind of study. They rapidly fail within a year, maybe two. That's the real catastrophe: we end up selecting students through failure, but we don't dare to select them before they enter - that's considered to be antidemocratic. Was it any different when you were a student here in 1968? In 1968 I was 19 years old, and I detested those bourgeois, golden youths breaking their toys...
