Anchor
Last week's Rx was gratitude because no matter what is going on, there are always things to be grateful for including the millions of health providers driving the medical response on the front lines of coronavirus.
 
This week the Rx is anchor, as in anchor yourself.  For any of us to deal with this new normal, we have to be grounded, be real with ourselves and keep our heads screwed on for the many demands and pressures that we face.  We are all different, so we will find different ways to be anchored.  These ideas are offered as a support to you in the hope that one or more will be of value to you or someone you love.
       
          Anchor in faith: If you are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Native or derive your faith from the great outdoors instead of an established religion, draw on that now even if it is from a photo.  You may be cloistered in a studio apartment or stuck in a small space with someone you don't like, but you can anchor to what inspires you beyond yourself and current limitations.  

            Anchor in others: Whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, anchor to those whom you can help now.  It can be calling an elderly neighbor daily, it can be connecting through the many community volunteer avenues that are needed like giving out grab and go meals to kids and the homeless, it can be sewing face masks.  As a parent, you are modeling the patience, composure and creativity your children will need throughout their lives.  What an incredible gift that is, though challenging. 

            Anchor in YouTube, Books or Online Resources: To calm your anxious mind or those around you, there are several YouTube guided meditations that you can listen to in a daily routine.  Others will watch cat videos or silly episodes to keep a sense of humor, which is key to a strong immune system.  Both or either can help. 

            Anchor in sharing: A Welsh Archivist, Lisa Heledid Jones, is working with people around the world to archive their stories in surviving the pandemic.  We can all contribute to that collective diary to share thoughts and common connections across countries.  Send voice, text, video or other communication to strangetimes@gmail.com.  Thanks to Scott Simon@NPR.
 
            Anchor in help: If you or a loved one is struggling with despair, be gentle with yourself and get help or encourage them to get help.  Help is strength, not weakness and many need a lifeline right now, not an anchor.  Here is how you can reach or text suicide lines or get help from mental health tele-therapists. Let's be real as we are bravely there for each other.  Suicide hot line: 1-800-273-8255 or you can text to this number for help: Text HOME to 741741. Tele-Therapy
 
For those who are staying home and avoiding even small gatherings, your actions and discretions are saving lives.  Thank you for being a generous leader, a loyal citizen and a GlobalMindED inclusive community member.  If people we feature daily can help those you know to feel inspired and connected, please share this link with them https://globalminded.org/our-news/newsletters/  
 
Take good care of yourself and others.  You matter and you are part of the solution. 

Join us to recognize the most inclusive leaders in key industries for their innovations and bold actions to promote access and equity for women, people of color, and underrepresented populations in their recruiting, development, senior management on their boards, and in their pipeline strategies from education to employment.

GlobalMindED and the SDG Impact Fund are delighted to announce GlobalMindED's Donor Advised Fund for your year-end giving and planning your 2020 investment goals. 2020 is the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations and and the 25th Anniversary of the Beijing Women's Declaration and Action Platform. Many from around the world are thinking of 2020 as the gateway to our most vital decade for delivering equity, the Sustainable Development Goals, and a world where all can thrive. Our key time for these outcomes is 2020-2030.

GlobalMindED DAF and the SDG Impact Fund are a powerful combined force for good as the 2019 year comes to a close and we reflect on the gratitude and the commitments we make to the causes we care most about. The DAF offers immense power and flexibility for giving prior to the year's end as you plant seeds of generous intention for 2020 and the decade ahead.

When you contribute to GlobalMindED, you support students like Emanuel Walker whose story is below. He was in the class of 2018. Since 2015, we have served more than 300 students by connecting them to role models, mentors, internships and jobs. Your generous support will allow us to take our work 10x and reach these talented students at scale who lack the resources and support we provide. Your support also helps teachers who can't afford the conference fees, faculty at colleges which are under resourced and students who persist at those universities despite food insecurity and/or housing insecurity.

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. Preference will be given to students who have not had academic or professional exposure (including internships) to business or business-related fields.  The   program dates are June 12-14; application is due April 21st.    For more information on Peek Weekend, you can watch the  College Programs Webinar   which showcases all three college programs.
 
The    2+2 Program   is a deferred admission process for current students, either in college or full-time masters programs. It is comprised of at least two years of professional work experience followed by two years in the HBS MBA Program. Upon graduation, admitted 2+2 students spend a minimum of two years (maximum of four years) working in a professional position in the public, private, or nonprofit secto r. T
he application is due on April 2, and is open to anyone who is graduating between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020.

Join the #NeedHerScience Campaign that is aimed at addressing journal-level gender bias. For decades, studies have demonstrated gender bias in publishing. This may occur at various stages in the process, including at the level of the 
journals. The equitable inclusion of women editors at every level is long overdue. Addressing journal gender bias starts at the top. 

AMWA is a strategic partner for the Need Her Science Campaign which is part of the Be Ethical Campaign. More information is available at www.SheLeadsHealthcare.com.

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. 
2. Take the #NeedHerScience pledge. 
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."
