Maura clearly exemplifies the Harvard experience. As classmates, she always contributed to the discussion and as a course assistant in David Gergen’s leadership class, she ensured young leaders in the class understood the premises we studied.
Well done!

Since graduating from Harvard in 1964, inspired by John F. Kennedy, Martun Luther King, and Robert Kennedy, I have spent my entire legal career trying to make the world a better place. Recently the Giraffe Heroes Project, a national non-profit organization whose mission is to move people to stand tall and take responsibility for making the world a better place, named me a Giraffe Hero for, as they put it, “continuously sticking his neck out for the common good, devoting his career to causes he believes in, and bypassing opportunities to enrich himself. Beginning with civil rights as a law student in 60’s Louisiana, Coppelman went on to advocate for the poor, the elderly, the disabled, endangered species, and for ‘Mother Earth.’” Full story at http://www.giraffe.org. My mission now is to encourage the next generation to stick their necks out for the common good.

You are a very bright person, and I hope that we will somehow find this greater than econmic purpose.

I’m a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering and learning machine design. I want to design useful machines to make the word a better place.
