HARVARD — The Warner Free Lecture Trustees selected Dr. Sarah Wakeman to deliver an opioid and fentanyl prevention lecture at their June 16 meeting. The committee allocated up to $2,500 for the speaker and agreed to seek funding from Ahmed's grant fund, with the application due within two weeks as the fund closes at fiscal year end.
The upcoming lecture series now stands at six confirmed events, including talks by Phil Jamison and Jon Anderson on square dancing, Michael Tougias, Azer Bestavros on artificial intelligence, and a collaboration with Bromfield School. The committee emphasized that the opioid lecture should be developed in partnership with local schools to maximize community impact.
