BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
The Human Affairs Program (HAP) was an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental program that provided students with theoretical and practical instruction in human and social problems across various communities. The program received funding from the Ford Foundation and the New World Foundation. The program originated through the School of Industrial and Labor Relations with groundwork laid by Professor William Whyte. Through academic and research study as well as community service the program focused on social, political, educational, and economic concerns. The program was both innovative and controversial during its existence. Daniel Leahy later served as director from September 1973 to June 1976; Virginia Jinx Dowd served as assistant director.
