ES96/CS96 Section 1: HUDS Sustainability
Problem Statement: HUDS provides residential, retail and catering services to the Harvard community. For more than a decade, they have implemented numerous changes to improve the sustainability of their operations – from waste management to food purchasing and production practices to facility modifications. Now, with a solid foundation of "green" practices and culture change established, HUDS needs to understand and weigh the impact of its existing efforts as well as consider what the next, most impactful steps will be. Examining the residential dining operations alone, what has been achieved, and where will resources best be deployed in the next phase to improve HUDS' sustainability?

ES96/CS96 Section 3: Library Special Collections
Problem Statement: Harvard Library is the steward of vast holdings of special collections consisting of rare books, archives, manuscripts, personal documents, and other materials. Harvard's special collections are unique and invaluable, but are useful only insofar as potential users of the material can find and gain access to them. Because so much of these collections are uncatalogued, or catalogued in insufficient detail, these materials are essentially unavailable for research as this cataloging backlog continues to grow. What accounts for this problem at its core? What sorts of tools can be applied or developed to help address these problems? What can be done to qualitatively improve the utility of the special collections?
