This week, we've made a commitment to wear masks, not gather in groups and respect stay at home orders as our health care workers and citizens pivot, especially in NYC in multiple ways. Whole floors of hospitals have become critical care wards as regular nurses step into acute roles which would normally be for ICU trained only. Doctors and others are back from retirement working in hospitals and from home with tele-medical rapid care. From around the country this week, 21,000 health care providers flew into New York City as the USS Comfort handled non-COVID19 patients. Those running the hospitals are working seven days a week, sixteen hour days.
As someone who lived ten years in NYC in my twenties,
I'm proud of this city and the valiant efforts these strong people have made in the most challenging circumstances. Inclusive and brave leadership is happening across the country and throughout the world.
Around the U.S., grocery store, pharmacy workers and others have pivoted to social distancing orders, many risking their own health like the front line medical teams. Faculty in K-12 and college have pivoted to teach all on-line classes as displaced students have stepped up to the plate, making the most out of this time despite their disappointment of missing classmates, graduations and summer internships. Single parents and two parent households are managing their jobs or their unemployment with kids to teach and keep motivated. Foundations and funders have responded quickly, many disbursing on- the- ground meals to homeless, Title 1 students and care to others living at the margin. Working with local banks and government agencies, loan packages are now available. Local and state governments are in high gear as they work around the clock.
If we have the courage, wherewithal and stamina of our emergency health providers, educators, unemployed, government and service providers treating COVID-19, how can we pivot and what can we be doing? If you can ask this every day with children and family members, we will pivot in ways that matter and, in so doing, honor those giving their all to keep us safe. We are all a pivot--key players--and we all can pivot for impact.
-- Carol Carter, Founder and CEO of GlobalMindED

Harvard Business School College Programs Overview
The
Summer Venture in Management Program
is a free one-week residential education program for rising college seniors designed to increase diversity and opportunity in business education.
Using the renowned case method of instruction, HBS faculty lead class discussions on current management issues. You will spend evenings analyzing real-business cases, and use morning study groups and classes to examine and debate their ideas through lively interaction with peers and faculty. The academic program is supplemented by presentations from HBS administrators and alumni who provide information about the impact of an MBA, as well as with social events and meals. You will have the opportunity to live in the dorms to experience the full life of an MBA student. The SVMP program is designed for students from backgrounds historically under-represented in business (e.g., African American, Latino, Native American, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender, the first family member to attend college, from a school whose graduates are sometimes underrepresented such as a community college as part of a four-year degree or a predominantly minority college).
This year's
program will be held June 13th-19th; the application is due on April 21st.
Peek Weekend
Come to HBS for a weekend to participate in our famous case method classes, live on our campus, meet current students and alumni, and get a peek into what an MBA is all about.
Peek is designed for rising juniors, rising seniors or graduating seniors. Peek Weekend seeks a diverse group of college students who are exploring career options and want to understand how an MBA can help them achieve their long-term goals.

program dates are June 12-14; application is due April 21st.
For more information on Peek Weekend, you can watch the

journals. The equitable inclusion of women editors at every level is long overdue. Addressing journal gender bias starts at the top.
The goal: To raise awareness about gender bias in publishing and share with stakeholders, including journal editors and owners, the overall number of scientists, healthcare professionals and others who have taken the pledge. The pledge can be taken anonymously. Educators and others are encouraged to take the pledge and share information about this issue with colleagues and trainees.
GET INVOLVED
Here are 3 quick and easy things you can do to join the #NeedHerScience Campaign: 1. Disseminate the infographic Tips for Publishing in Medical Journals.

3. Encourage others to take the pledge.
TAKE THE PLEDGE
PLEDGE: "As part of determining where to submit my manuscripts, I will look at the list of editors and consider whether a journal has equitably included qualified women at every level."
