...Freshman orientation workshops: Freshman orientation is a wonderful entrée to the exciting world of ideas and an opportunity not only to warm up one’s intellectual muscles but also to engage with one’s incredibly interesting and diverse peers. Harvard should expand its current orientation programs to encompass a series of workshops on diversity, including socioeconomic diversity, and on being sensitive to the first-generation college-goers in the classroom.

In the midst of a workshop, William, 14, leaves the room to take a phone call from his mother. He returns, distracted, biting his nails. His mother is now on FARC's hit list. "If I didn't demobilize, this wouldn't be happening to my mom," he says, looking down. "I don't know what to do. I love my mother very much." Despite the danger, many do leave, disillusioned by the lack of pay and traumatized...
