The Harvard College International Womens Rights Collective (IWRC) is a student organization that seeks to promote sustained dialogue and activism among undergraduates regarding international womens issues. Our hope is to establish greater commitment to gender equality across borders in the framework of universal human rights. We aspire to de-stigmatize contentious elements of gender and cultural relativism through productive, interactive, and respectful debates and events. Value Statement As a Harvard student organization, we recognize our inherent contextualization within Western gender ideology. But the problems we hope to address in the world are contextualized as well. In order to understand the sources of gender conflict and explore sustainable solutions, we reject the notion of culture as a static, unchanging entity. Instead, we hope to work creatively within cultural frameworks to reduce human suffering on the basis of gender.

Harvard STAGE was conceived by Harvard students as a way to bridge the disconnect between the college and the surrounding community and to emphasize the connection between theater and public service in general. STAGE does so by bringing college students together with their younger peers to grow through theater and by bringing the broader community together to support it. STAGE recruits members at the start of each semester. Members are Harvard students with a talent and interest in any or all of the following areas: theatrical performance, dance, oratory, directing, producing, technical design (lights, costumes, set, sound, props), choreography, music directing, script writing/score composing, etc. Members must also have a distinguished record of public service and must commit to weekly involvement working with the middle school children in STAGEs after-school program. Throughout the school year, STAGE members run a weekly after-school program serving children who would otherwise have little or no exposure to the performing arts. STAGE uses a curriculum designed to introduce children to the basics of theatrical performance, emphasizing the importance of creativity, communication skills, and self-esteem. STAGE members work with the children to help them develop their own theatrical pieces, both reality-based and imaginative. In December, STAGE hosts ArtSpectacular - a day-long whirlwind tour in which after-school participants are introduced to all aspects of the performing arts by working with different Harvard student arts organizations. STAGEs afterschool program culminates in a showcase of the students pieces at the end of the year on campus, intended to highlight the achievements of the students and to raise awareness of the potential for the arts in the community.
