Meet the Fellows in Value Engagement
In partnership with the Harvard College Dean of Students Office, the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics (ELSCE) is pleased to pilot a new Fellowship in Values Engagement (FiVE). The goal of this program is to foster intellectual vitality on campus by promoting ethical reflection and a culture of civil disagreement in undergraduate community life.
In its inaugural year, 27 Tutors and Proctors across all residential communities were selected to lead dialogues across differences and facilitate programming that will help affiliated residents grapple with core values in engaging, honest, and meaningful ways. Additionally, Fellows are expected to convene one event (per community) with a house/Dudley alum or faculty member at the Harvard Faculty Club; separate funding is available for these events.
