Steven Strauss 2012 AL Fellow
Steven recently penned an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, “As the age of autonomous vehicles nears, why are policy wonks focused on the past?” in which he calls for policy makers to shift their focus from cars to autonomous vehicles (AVs). Because of their expected lower cost and faster travel times than cars, Strauss suspects they will overtake cars on the road, which will bring about high level implications, from major job and industry shifts, to road safety, etc. As such, Strauss calls for key policy makers to address the technological, legal and regula-tory barriers in order to let AVs reach their full potential.

Professor Rakesh Khurana Dean of Harvard College; Professor of Sociology; Master of Cabot House, FAS Marvin Bower Professor of Leadership Development, HBS Founding Board Member, Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative
Dean Khurana has recently been in the news regarding the question of a change of name for the leaders who head Harvard Houses. Several AL Fellows have been residents in undergraduate houses and have expressed
support for this change. Citing its historical relation to slavery, the leaders of Harvard’s 12 residential colleges unanimously agreed to end the use of “House master” in their titles.
The decision to drop “master” was announced in an email to students from Dean Khurana. Officials said they have not yet decided on a new title for the leadership position.

Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration Harvard Business School Chair and Director, Advanced Leadership Initiative
Professor Kanter was named to the Thinkers 50 Hall of Fame in November in recognition of her sustained contributions to management thought. She has been named to the list of the 50 Most Influential Business Thinkers in the World repeatedly since the list began, and now resides in the Hall of Fame rather than on the list.
In March 2016, Professor Kanter will receive the Everett Rogers Award from the University of Southern California. The Everett M. Rogers Award was established in 2005 by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Presented by the Lear Center, the award recognizes exceptional creativity in the practice of entertainment-education
and excellence in research on the use of entertainment to deliver messages aimed at improving the quality of life of audiences around the world.
Professor Kanter’s book MOVE, which ben-efited from the contributions of AL Fellows at the 2014 America on the Move Summit, an ALI event joint with Harvard Business School, continues to influence the infrastructure debate. She has worked with a leading U.S. Presidential candidate on a recently announced Infrastructure Plan which cites MOVE. In late November, she was the keynote speaker for the nation of Colombia’s national infrastructure summit, just before a speech by Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos Calderon. She also spoke about infrastructure with several dozen newly elected U.S. mayors at a briefing sponsored by the Institute of Politics at Harvard and the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Message from the Chair and Director
Earlier this month, 2016 AL Fellows and Partners attend-ed a multi-day introduction to Harvard. The new cohort visited multiple schools around Harvard and met with faculty and deans. They learned more about Harvard, its course offerings, and the many opportunities available to them when they begin in January. There are 48 AL Fellows and 6 AL Partners for 2016, plus a few continuing Senior AL Fellows from 2015. As you can see, ALI has enjoyed steady growth and we are now being viewed by many others as a model. Please see below for the full list of AL Fellows.
