Dear Harvard Community,
 
Living in New England, it’s not often that I look forward to the month of January. But this year is different: on January 10, I’ll be heading to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center for a special evening with President Drew Gilpin Faust, cohosted by the Harvard Club of Cincinnati. I hope to see you there!

To kick off the event, President Faust will join Harvard Board of Overseers President Scott Abell AB ’72 to discuss Harvard’s evolving campus and community as well as issues of higher education more generally—a conversation that I’m sure will be of great interest.

After the program, there’s plenty of time to mingle and enjoy drinks and appetizers with fellow alumni and friends.
 

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season.

Warmly,
Philip

The Harvard Club of Cincinnati is delighted to host Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust January 10.  If you attend only one Harvard event, this one will be a doozie.  Come be part of One Harvard for a night!  Register ASAP to ensure your spot. 

Drew Gilpin Faust is the 28th president of Harvard University and the Lincoln Professor of History in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
As president of Harvard, Faust has expanded financial aid to improve access to Harvard College for students of all economic backgrounds and advocated for increased federal funding for scientific research. She has broadened the University's international reach, raised the profile of the arts on campus, embraced sustainability, launched edX, the online learning partnership with MIT, and promoted collaboration across academic disciplines and administrative units as she guided the University through a period of significant financial challenges.
An historian of the Civil War and the American South, Faust was the founding dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, guiding its transformation from a college into a wide-ranging institute for scholarly and creative enterprise, distinctive for its multidisciplinary focus and the exploration of new knowledge at the crossroads of traditional fields.
