The Kissel Grants in Practical Ethics are made possible by a gift from the late Lester Kissel, a graduate of Harvard Law School and longtime benefactor of Harvard's ethics programs and activities.
"The interests of the students this year range even more widely than before, and the quality is no less high. It is gratifying to see so many undergraduates interested in doing serious work on ethical issues during their summer."
Dennis F. Thompson, Harvard Gazette, May 17, 2007
