Congratulations, Kieran!

Last year, Kieran Dunn ‘22 earned first place at the Massachusetts State Science and Engineering Fair. This year he was one of only 81 students worldwide to be named a Research Science Institute (RSI) Scholar at The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE)!

In its 38th year, RSI is an intensive, six-week program sponsored in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that gives students the opportunity to conduct original, cutting-edge science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research.

RSI scholars learn about the careers, achievements, and challenges of STEM through presentations and dialogue in RSI’s Distinguished Guest Lecture Series.

RSI is offered cost-free by CEE to competitively selected top achieving students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students are selected by CEE’s committee of professional educators and RSI alumni based on high school records, personal essays, standardized test scores, teacher recommendations, research experience, potential for leadership, and honors and awards in math and science. To date, nearly 3,000 high school students - representing every U.S. state and more than 56 nations - have experienced RSI.

The RSI annual summer program consists of one week of theoretical classroom work, followed by four-and-a-half weeks of cutting-edge research under the mentorship of leading scientists, engineers, and researchers in the students’ respective areas of interest. In their final week, students demonstrate their research work through written academic papers and oral presentations to their peers and a panel of judges.

We are pleased to announce that the 2021 Head Of The Charles Regatta will be held on the Charles River in Boston this fall!

Along with the full schedule of Saturday and Sunday racing on October 23rd and 24th, we are also pleased to introduce two hours of additional racing on the morning of Friday, October 22nd. This additional racing block provides opportunity for more athletes to participate in the Regatta, flexibility in scheduling for unforeseen weather delays, and timing buffers for over 1,800 diligent volunteers who often work from sunup to sundown.

“Our long wait is finally over and we look forward to hosting the world rowing community back in Boston this fall,” said Fred Schoch, Executive Director of the Regatta. “As circumstances surrounding the pandemic have continued to significantly improve in Massachusetts, we want to let our community know that we are in full planning mode for October and look forward to providing a safe event for our competitors, our volunteers, and our spectators.”

Over the last eighteen months, the Head Of The Charles Regatta Board of Directors and staff have met regularly with a team of infectious disease physicians and other experts at Massachusetts General Hospital – along with officials from the Commonwealth – to assess its ability to host a safe regatta, as well as receive guidance on public health and safety protocols and guidelines. A detailed set of health and safety protocols and guidelines for participation in the 2021 Regatta will be released this summer, along with more details on the regatta itself.

“The decision to expand the Regatta by adding racing into Friday morning was made with great care,” said Blair Crawford, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Regatta. “Beginning at the Race Operations Committee level and extending up through our Managing Directors, consensus on this decision was reached only after serious consideration of how it would impact our stakeholders. As the Regatta grows, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing the same competitor experience people know and love.”

After 21 years of having the privilege of wearing the silver fern and representing New Zealand as part of the Rowing New Zealand team, I am today announcing my retirement.

It has been one hell of a ride! While you always dream of ending it with a fairy tale, time has beaten me on this occasion.

I am immensely proud of all I have achieved over the past 21 years. It has not been easy and I’ve had a lot of ups and downs along the way, but it has all shaped me into the person I am today.

The medals are a bonus, but rowing has provided me so much more over the years. It was West End Rowing Club that got me off the couch and started me in this wonderful sport. The club have supported me my whole career and given me lifelong friends. I met my beautiful wife, Juliette through rowing and started a family and now have 3 amazing kids.

Thank you to the rowing community and public of New Zealand for your unconditional support. I have taken a huge amount of pride representing you on the international stage. You’ve all been a big part of the journey and I hope I have made you proud!

If you never try, you will never fail. But if you never fail, you have never pushed yourself to the limit and will never truly know what you are capable of!

There is a long list of people who have got me to where I am today and I thank you all!

As I do in all my significant moments in rowing I’ve written a blog which you can see on mahe.kiwi/blog (link in Bio)

And finally a big thanks to all my wonderful sponsors.

With the Bay State's rain, groundwater, and streamflow levels all below normal, officials have declared that much of the commonwealth is in the midst of a drought that could spell even drier conditions latter this summer.
