Rubén Blades (finally!) receives the Harvard Arts Medal. Prior to the Arts Medal ceremony, he took part in a student panel with Ines De la Morena, Martin Reyes Holguin, Doris Sommer, Dinah Orozco-Herrera, and Gilberto López-Jiménez. Blades called on students to find ways to help their communities wherever they happen to be. “If you can find ways to contribute to the community, you will continue to be alive.
