When Renée Watkins ’53 first arrived at Radcliffe, she says she found a campus populated with thin, blonde-haired women born and bred in sophisticated circles.
For Watkins, whose family fled from the Nazis in her native Germany and made several stops in other European countries en route to the U.S., the homogeneity of Radcliffe students was oppressive.
But Watkins says there are legitimate security concerns to be factored into the University’s calculus.
“We don’t want public access to details of our plans to people who want to use the details against us,” Watkins says.
Watkins says he helped to create a set of simulations to test preparedness for a range of different emergency scenarios Harvard might face—not only in internal response systems but in media relations as well.
