IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS
----------
New HGSE website: submissions requested!
HGSE is revamping its website to be launched in January, and one of the new elements will be a page that highlights what current and former HGSE students are doing in the School, in the community and in the world. The SGA Academics Committee is currently collecting ideas for these spotlights. If you know a current, or former, HGSE student (including yourself) who…
* has an inspiring story to tell about their experiences in education
* is conducting notable research as part of their degree program or in the field
* is involved in a social action project to bring about change in education
* has just been hired to an interesting position in the field
We want to know about it!
To submit an idea for consideration, please check with that person to make sure he/she is agreeable and then email Shannon Houston, VP Academics, (houstosh@gse.harvard.edu) with a brief summary of what that person is doing and why it should be highlighted on the website. Ideas will initially be reviewed by the Academics Committee, and selected spotlights will be forwarded to the HGSE Director of Communications, Michael Rodman, for final review.

Dean's Diversity Innovation Fund (DDIF) Deadline on November 17th
This is a great opportunity to have a diversity-focused project funded for the benefit of the HGSE community! The next deadline for funding for the Dean's Diversity Innovation Fund is Wednesday, November 17 at 5 p.m. Proposals must be dropped off in hard copy, with a cover sheet, in the Office of Student Affairs, Larsen 101. The cover sheet for proposals, sample proposals, and additional information are available on-line in the OSA web page at this URL: http://www.gse.harvard.edu/osa/ma/ddif.html. Please allow up to two weeks after the deadline to receive a response to a proposal. Accordingly, the scheduling of your event should take this timeline into consideration.
Recognizing that students have ideas for programs or activities that would enhance HGSE's attention to diversity, the Dean's Office established the Diversity Innovation Fund to support, with small grants, student-initiated ideas that are designed to broaden the conversation at HGSE and allow for more varied perspectives, experiences, and fora for exchange. This fund is available to students through a short proposal process. Past funding has sponsored speakers, film festivals, discussion groups, cultural celebrations, conferences and much more!

Symposium on climate change - Nov. 21
Cambridge Forum
3 Church Street Cambridge, MA 02138
Contact: Pat Suhrcke, Director
(617) 495-2727
email: director@cambridgeforum.org
http://www.cambridgeforum.org
Robert T. Watson, Chief Scientist and Director of Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development at the World Bank and Co-Chair of the United Nations Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, leads a special Cambridge Forum series of dialogues on climate change on Monday, November 21, 2005 at First Parish, 3 Church Street, in Harvard Square. During an afternoon symposium, Watson leads scientists and environmentalists in an in-depth discussion of the scientific evidence for climate change and its impact on the world's ecosystems and human cultures. At his evening keynote address, Watson presents the accomplishments of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment as it sets the stage for future action to reverse or adapt to coming climate change and ensuing ecological and cultural disruptions. The program concludes with a public discussion of possible scenarios for the earth's environmental future. The symposium takes place from 2:00 to 4:15 p.m. The evening lecture and public forum begin at 7:00 p.m. Both programs are free and open to the public.
At 2:00 p.m. the first symposium panel will convene to discuss the scientific evidence for global climate change. Chaired by William Moomaw of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and Director of the Tufts Institute for the Environment (TIE), the panel includes Kerry Emanuel, MIT climatologist who has done extensive research on changes in tropical weather patterns, and James McCarthy, an expert on arctic assessment. Watson ties their specialized area research to the global Millennium Assessment undertaken by the United Nations. Participants in the second symposium panel at 3:15 p.m. are: author Ross Gelbspan (The Heat Is On and Boiling Point); radio host Steve Curwood (Living On Earth); and author and cultural commentator Bill McKibben (Wandering Home). They will examine the economic, cultural, and psychological impact of changing ecosystems on human beings with Watson.
Watson's evening addresses looks at the questions that Americans must answer, both as individuals and as members of one of the wealthiest and most profligate nations on the earth, as we prepare a future for our children and grandchildren. If human activities are causing global climate change and the depletion of natural resources, what actions can we take to slow or reverse these dangerous trends? When will it be too late for our actions to make a difference? What factors mitigate against significant changes in human activity? What reasons have we for hope? What will living on earth be like over the next century?
Robert T. Watson is the World Bank's senior spokesperson on global climate change. He joined the Bank in 1996 as senior scientific adviser in the environmental department and in 1997 was appointed director of the department and head of the environment sector board. Prior to joining the Bank, he was associate director for environmental issues in the Office of Science and Technology Policy for the Clinton White House and had served at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as director of the science division and chief scientist for the Mission to Planet Earth. He has played a key role in negotiating global environmental conventions and, most recently, co-chaired the United Nations Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
Cambridge Forums are free and open to the public. Open discussion follows speaker presentation. Events are taped and edited for public radio broadcast throughout the nation. Edited CDs are available to the public by contacting 617-495-2727. Select forums can be viewed in their entirety on demand by visiting our website at www.cambridgeforum.org and clicking on the WGBH Forum Network.

EndNote Basics
EndNote is a software program for storing and managing bibliographic references. With it, you can create your own database of references, including ones you import from library catalogs and online databases. These can include links to full text when available. Use EndNote to sort, search, and format references, and to insert them into Word documents to create in-text citations and reference lists automatically. Note: Students usually purchase EndNote to work on long-term research projects, such as a dissertation or comprehensive literature review.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to create an EndNote library and add records to it. You'll be able to search and sort those references and use EndNote's Cite While You Write feature to insert them into a Word document. You'll know how to set preferences, what EndNote filters and connection files are, how to find and install these for HOLLIS Catalog, and how to import/export references from Harvard's e-resources into EndNote.

Seasons of Grief
Conducted by Sheila Reindl and Christine Hérot. A one-session workshop to be held in December. A workshop for students who are struggling with a significant loss in their life, whether the loss occurred recently or years ago. Losses can take many forms – from surviving the death of someone close, to coping with the end of a relationship, to dealing with injury or illness, to missing a place we considered home, to reckoning with changes in our sense of purpose or place in life. We will talk about dealing with our emotions, facing the reality of the loss, understanding the nature of the grieving process, finding ways to cope, and communicating with others during ongoing grief. To register, please email Sheila
(sreindl@bsc.harvard.edu) or Christine (cherot@bsc.harvard.edu).
Returning To Harvard: A Discussion Group

It is a chance to share your stories - the difficulties as well as the joys - with others who have recently returned from abroad. Pre-group consultation necessary.
On-Line Forum for Asian and Asian-American Men
Conducted by SungLim Shin and Susan Dubois. Full-semester group: Beginning date to be arranged.

To facilitate open and supportive discussions, participants will be anonymous to each other (by using aliases) and known only to the forum moderators. Discussions among participants can occur at any time on the restricted access, Web-based bulletin board. Pre-group consultation with a moderator is necessary. Please email Sung
(slshin@bsc.harvard.edu) or Susan (sdubois@bsc.harvard.edu) to arrange for a consultation.
