Marks of distinction
It’s no easy feat to turn one of the most iconic Harvard buildings into a Halloween weekend destination, but that’s precisely what a group of Harvard staffers did last October.The event — dubbed Haunted Hall — lured more than 1,600 students to Memorial Hall with a costume parade, live music, candy buffet, mocktails, and pub food.To pull it off, members of the Office for the Arts, Harvard College Office of Student Life, Harvard University Dining Services, and the Freshman Dean’s Office worked with students to organize vendors and other campus partners to ensure the event fit with the College’s philosophy of student-led, staff-supported programming.Those efforts — along with the work of dozens of other Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) staff members — were honored last month at the annual Dean’s Distinction Awards ceremony.“You have been called a superstar, an invaluable asset, the heart of our undergraduate program … and an outstanding University citizen,” Edgerley Family Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Michael D. Smith told the honorees during the ceremony. “You’ve demonstrated outstanding citizenship and remarkable dedication through the many winter storms of 2015, trekking through 100-plus inches of snow to direct clean-up efforts and ensure that lab facilities continued to run smoothly so critical research continued uninterrupted in the face of Boston’s worst winter on record.“To all of our honorees today, you are a fantastic portrait of the best of our staff. Our faculty and students are incredibly fortunate to have your ideas, your engagement, and your partnership. You make Harvard stronger. On behalf of the faculty, I extend my sincere thanks to you.”In all, 65 FAS employees from 45 departments were recognized at the award ceremony. In addition to the Haunted Hall team, three other teams were honored for their work in the past year:The Title IX Coordination team worked with various FAS Title IX Committees and Harvard’s Central Office of Dispute Resolution to help finalize the University-wide Sexual and Gender-based Harassment Policy, contributed to the implementation of procedures for students, staff and faculty, and helped develop local Title IX processes that were effective for the FAS community. The ABET team gathered and analyzed large quantities of data and worked with faculty and staff to organize a team visit by faculty and professionals from other institutions. The end result was virtually unheard-of: Harvard was granted continued ABET accreditation with no findings.Among those recognized was Marlon Cummings, a lab administrator in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.“For me, having been in higher education all my career, to be recognized by my peers is a wonderful honor, and I’m very grateful for that,” Cummings said. “This is not really a job, because I love to work with the students here. This is a great acknowledgement.”Michaela Kapp, a faculty administrator at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, called the award a surprise and an honor.“I was actually on vacation when I learned about the award, so it was a very nice surprise,” she said. “It’s absolutely very special to get this recognition … it means so much, so I’m very honored.”The 2016 Dean’s Distinction recipients are: Derek Barton, SEAS Faculty and Lab AdministrationThomas Batchelder, Department of History of Art and ArchitectureMegan Baugh, Division of Continuing EducationSusan Berstler, Cabot Science Library, Harvard College LibraryFranklin Brown, HUIT Unified CommunicationsSabinna Cappo, Department of Earth and Planetary SciencesLaurie Chiasson, Harvard ForestSarah Colgan, Department of Earth and Planetary SciencesKirsten Colton, Division of Social ScienceLenia Constantinou, Department of Human Evolutionary BiologyMarlon Cummings, Department of Chemistry and Chemical BiologyMaureen Daniels, Center for Nanoscale SystemsJody Fanto, Division of Continuing EducationKelly Haigh, FAS Donor RelationsRobert Hart, Department of PhysicsRudy Hypolite, Instructional Media ServicesRamona Islam, Widener Library, Harvard College LibraryMichaela Kapp, SEAS Faculty and Lab AdministrationRandy Kiessig, Institute for Quantitative Social ScienceOfrit Liviatan, Harvard College Freshman Seminar ProgramMary McConnell, Department of HistoryChristina McFadden, FAS Dean’s OfficeElizabeth Moss Levine, Graduate School of Arts and SciencesElizabeth Musser, Cabot House, Harvard CollegeWendy Peiper, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureBrenda Piquet, Department of EconomicsKeleigh Quinn, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary BiologyDuane Reeves, Department of AthleticsJoan Rouse, Harvard College Dean’s OfficeKaitlyn Santa Lucia, FAS Registrar’s OfficeKathy Santoro, FAS Human ResourcesPaula Soares, Department of Visual and Environmental StudiesClaudia Stearns, SEAS Faculty and Lab AdministrationThomas Tribble, Office of Physical Resources and PlanningAlexandra Vacroux, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian StudiesAbby Wolf, Hutchins Center for African and African American ResearchEric Wong, Harvard College Admissions and Financial AidShao-Liang Zheng, Department of Chemistry and Chemical BiologyHaunted Hall TeamPilar Fitzgerald, Harvard College Office of Student LifeMary Lou Kearns, Harvard University Dining ServicesTina Bowen, Office for the Arts at Harvard, Memorial Hall/Lowell Hall ComplexTorey Martin, Harvard College Freshman Dean’s OfficeShelby Raglan, Harvard College Office of Student LifeMichael Ranen, Harvard College Freshman Dean’s OfficeKatherine Steele, Harvard College Freshman Dean’s OfficeAmy Vest, Harvard College Office of Student LifeTitle IX Coordination TeamAnna Anctil, FAS Human ResourcesMary Higgins, Division of Continuing EducationGarth McCavana, Graduate School of Arts and SciencesEmily Miller, Harvard College Academic ProgramsRobert Neugeboren, Division of Continuing EducationJohannah Park, Office for Faculty AffairsSandra Stergiou, FAS Human ResourcesKwok Yu, Office for Faculty AffairsJacqueline Yun, Graduate School of Arts and SciencesHarvard Museums of Science and Culture Exhibit DepartmentJennifer Berglund, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureDonald Bissex, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureAnthony Greaney, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureSylvie Laborde, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureWilliam McCann, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureTristan Rocher, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureSamuel Tager, Harvard Museums of Science and CultureABET TeamAnna Dunavin, SEAS Deans and Related StaffDavid Hwang, SEAS Office of Academic ProgramsPatrick Ulrich, SEAS Office of Academic Programs The Harvard Museums of Science and Culture Exhibition team worked across disciplines and departments to launch four major exhibitions, and generated broad collaboration across departments outside the museums to create exhibitions.

Welcome to another edition of Clips of the Week! We’ve got some heady videos for you today from around the net, including trippy skiing, cringe-worthy riding, and slippery ice.1. Color Me ImpressedAmazing idea and cinematography from the Falquet brothers, Huck and Chuck. This one is a mind ‘sploder and doesn’t get old.

Your outdoor news bulletin for June 12, the day Bryan Allen flew the human-powered Gossamer Albatross aircraft across the English Channel, proving that human-powered aircraft can, indeed, have silly names:Asheville, N.C.: Beer City to Gear City?That’s the goal of the Outdoor Gear Builders of Western North Carolina, a newly formed organization of WNC gear manufacturers led by SylvanSport and Eagles Nest Outfitters, and they have a plan to do it. SylvanSport worked with Prestige Subaru of Asheville to convert their former Suzuki building into the Prestige Adventure Center, a showroom for local outdoor companies to display their wares and services. Over 30 outdoor companies have signed and the Adventure Center will be the exclusive downtown showroom for OGBWNC brands including Navitat, Bellyak, Outrider, USA, and more. Of course, SylvanSport and their GO tow-behind pop-up camper will take center stage as both the lead organizer and the largest physical piece of gear being showcased. Having such a large space will allow for more robust community events like live music, special presentations, and promotions. SylvanSport Director of Marketing and New Product Development: “The Prestige Adventure Center will be a lot like a community center. This will be a place where local outdoor gear builders, retailers like Diamond Brand, REI, and Black Dome, and adventure companies like NOC, Navitat, and others, can all get together, have their products on display, and help promote each other.” The Prestige Adventure Center is slated to open mid-July.Cool idea.

Caleb Newton held the rod while Phil Wilcox held the net as they landed the possible world recored Northern Snakehead out of Aquia Creek in Stafford, Virginia Saturday. The (ugly-as-sin) fish weighed in at 17.6 pounds, topping the previous record – caught in Japan in 2004 – by a couple of ounces. The northern snake head is, in a word, gross: they can live for days out of the water, can move on land, excrete mucus, smell terrible, have sharp teeth, are as hard to kill as the Terminator (T-850, not the T-1000) and are just plain ugly. They are also an invasive species, and if caught in Virginia are required by law to be, well, terminated. Newton has submitted paperwork to the International Fish Game Association and expects to hear back about the world record by August.Underwater Film Crew in Southern AppalachiansSpeaking of invasive species, a crew from the Oregon-based Freshwaters Illustrated spent last week in the waters of the Southern Appalachians taking photos and video of the underwater lives of the fish that reside there. Jeremy Monroe and David Herasimtschuk explored the underwater world of Abrams Creek, the Little River, the Conasauga River, and the Hiwassee River among others filming brook trout, mussels, hellbenders, chubs, and darters. Founded by Monroe in 2003, the purpose of Freshwaters Illustrated is to bring attention to the beauty and fragility of freshwater ecosystems through the U.S. through underwater still photography and video. They are currently working on a full-length film project focused on the rivers and conservation efforts in the Southeast.Get the full story, and some beautiful underwater photos, here.
Sign up for our COVID-19 newsletter to stay up-to-date on the latest coronavirus news throughout New York Voters in Nassau and Suffolk counties are hitting the polls to cast their ballots in local races across Long Island this Election Day, with unseasonably mild temperatures and sunny skies in the forecast for this first Tuesday in November.Voter turnout, which has reportedly been steady throughout the morning in scattered precincts, is expected to be pivotal in several key match-ups.The most-watched race on LI is for the Nassau County District Attorney post. At the top of the ticket on the other side of the county line is the Suffolk County Executive race. And scattered across the Island are county legislative seats, judicial and town-level contests—some of which could tip the balance of power.“With so much at stake in this election… we will do everything we can to make sure that every eligible person who wishes to vote—no matter what their party—gets that opportunity,” said Nassau Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs.Acting Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, who is running as a Democrat to keep her job for the next for years, is up against Republican Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray, who leads Singas by one percentage point, according to a recent Newsday/News 12/Siena College poll that has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.On eastern LI, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, a Democrat who is seeking re-election to his second term, is facing off against James O’Connor, a Republican former Town of North Hempstead councilman trying to unseat him—although he has an uphill battle, polls show.A key race in Bellone’s backyard is between Suffolk County Legis. Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst), the legislature’s GOP minority leader, and the Democratic challenger, Deputy Suffolk County Executive Tim Sini. A Republican winning the district in which the Democratic county exec lives proved an upset two years ago. But on top of seeking a second legislative term, McCaffrey is also up for re-election as president of Teamsters Local 707, the union that represents workers in various industries in the New York Metro area.Meanwhile, Suffolk Republicans hope to pick up at least one more seat in the 12-6 majority held by the Democrats and their third-party allies. That’s because under legislative rules, Democrats can currently vote to borrow funds without Republican support. But, if the GOP picks up at least one seat, the majority will have to negotiate with the minority to pass borrowing measures.That puts all eyes on the race to replace term-limited Legis. Jay Schneiderman (I-Montauk). Bridget Fleming, a Democratic Southampton town councilwoman, is vying to keep that seat in the majority’s hands. She’s running against Amos Goodman, a financial consultant and political newcomer from Springs—also the first openly gay GOP candidate for county office on LI.Republicans also hope Steven Tricarico, deputy superintendent of highways for the Town of Brookhaven, can unseat two-term Legis. Sarah Anker (D-Mt. Sinai), where registered GOP voters outnumber Democrats. But if none of those seats change hands, some say the consolation prize for Republicans could come in a race where there’s no GOP candidate.First-term Legis. Monica Martinez (D-Brentwood), a Bellone ally who two years ago unseated wildcard lawmaker Rick Montano—a Democrat who didn’t caucus with his own party—conceded an elections lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of her nominating petitions, effectively handing her Democratic line to her primary opponent, Giovanni Mata, a Montano ally also from Brentwood. Martinez may be running on the third-party line, but she’s still got the backing of Suffolk County Democratic Chair Richard Schaffer, who accused Mata and Montano of working with Republicans—an assertion Suffolk Republican Chair John Jay LaValle has denied. Apparently the only way to know for sure will be if Mata wins.On the town level on the East End, Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter lost the local Republican party’s nomination and a GOP primary challenge to Riverhead Town Councilwoman Jodi Giglio. Walter, who’s now running on the Conservative Party line, hopes voters will re-elect him following a recent announcement that he helped lure an aerospace company to Enterprise Park at Calverton, aka EPCAL. Giglio maintains that it’s time for a new town leader.Back in Nassau, one legislative race without the advantage of an incumbent is in district six, where Legis. Francis X. Becker (R-Lynbrook) is retiring. The candidate running to keep the seat in the hands of the legislature’s Republican majority is C. William Gaylor, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, attorney and former judge also from Lynbrook. His opponent is Democrat James Paymar of Rockville Centre, a former TV news anchor and ex-corporate spokesman-turned media consultant.Republicans hope to bolster their 12-7 majority—one seat shy of a supermajority that would Democratic support to pass borrowing. Their best bet may be the race in which freshman Legis. Ellen Birnbaum (D-Great Neck) seeks re-election and her GOP challenger, Lisa Benjamin, tries to capitalize on a controversy surrounding Birnbaum making insensitive remarks that resulted in her temporarily being barred from her own caucus. Cassandra Lems, a Green Party candidate from Herricks, is also running in that race.Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday.

And the same content would be good for all tourists to share through their channels, because that way the campaign as well as the message spreads, which enhances the positioning as well as the chances of creating motives for the trip. Communication is always, let alone now in this crisis situation, crucial. But I must also ask the question: Is a mosaic video campaign enough? Promotional activities in the next period will take place in the four mentioned segments, and the first one was published on social networks. video on the topic of Croatian natural beauties. The whole campaign #CroatiaLongDistanceLove it is based on mosaic video frames, which again have no or no narrative and story. Ok, we are beautiful and beautiful, like many other destinations, but that is not enough in today’s 21st century, let alone now, when we talk about the promotion of tourist destinations. If we all share content – the message and campaign is stronger and more effective The video was shared by numerous county and local tourist boards, agencies and hotel houses, as well as private renters, and well-known Croatian athletes, foreign bloggers and journalists and the European Travel Commission, who shared the video on its website, also took part in sharing the messages. The Croatian National Tourist Board has prepared four new videos for activities on social networks on the topic gastronomy, natural beauty, active tourism and culture through which he continues to implement the new communication concept #CroatiaLongDistanceLove. More, much much more is expected from the CNTB as the main promotional platform. Especially in this crisis situation, where in addition to the promotion itself, it is necessary to further activate the “internal” communication with the entire tourism system. People are confused, waiting for information, they do not know how and in which direction to go, how to communicate, what to expect, both from the tourist boards and from all entrepreneurs in the tourist mosaic. The video launching the #CroatiaLongDistanceLove concept has so far been viewed by over 500 million users, according to the CNTB, and most views and comments have been made in nearby markets such as Germany, Italy, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. Publishing a video and inviting people to share photos is a long-outdated concept of promotion, (only in the case of only one segment of the broader concept) a concept that has no head and no tail, nor is it a complete story. Not to mention a campaign that stands out from the crowd, that is different from the long ones, that is unique, that requires real interaction and that attracts attention.
