Eminent Harvard professor, world-renowned psychologist and author Steven Pinker (Class of 1973) is supporting Dawson's efforts to raise funds for students in need. An estimated 1,700 °®¶¹´«Ã½students may be having trouble covering food and rent expenses.
Dr. Pinker sent this quote to °®¶¹´«Ã½College last week:
"For more than fifty years, °®¶¹´«Ã½has been educating people from all parts of society to make contributions to all walks of life. As a proud alumnus, I encourage you all to support this generation of °®¶¹´«Ã½students, who on top of all the challenges of college are facing additional hardships in this unprecedented crisis."
To date, thanks to your contributions and donations from friends and alumni, °®¶¹´«Ã½College has raised just shy of $2,000, with more expected soon.
