Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders in many disciplines who make a difference globally. Founded in 1636, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.
The official flagship Harvard social media channels are maintained by Harvard Public Affairs and Communications and aim to provide access to the people, places, events, news and research at our Institution. We ask that all visitors to Harvard’s digital spaces be civil to one another and to the site editors. Personal attacks, profanity, commercial solicitations, spam, misinformation or other inappropriate contributions are grounds for comment removal. We ask that you stay on topic when contributing to a discussion and refrain from duplicate posts.
Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. The page administrators reserve the right to delete inappropriate or abusive comments and to permanently ban or block users from the Harvard social media accounts.

With eight campuses across Arizona and California, with campuses in Bakersfield, Fresno, Lake Havasu City, Newport Beach, Phoenix, Prescott, San Diego, & Yuma, we support businesses at every stage with tools, programs, and resources that help entrepreneurs grow with integrity and confidence. Today, we proudly serve over 23,000 BBB Accredited Businesses across the region.
BBB Accreditation isn’t just a badge—it’s a public commitment to doing business honestly, transparently, and ethically. Our 8 Standards for Trust provide a framework that helps businesses stand out and gives consumers the confidence to engage.
But BBB is more than a seal. Our Ignite Innovation and Events Hubs in Phoenix, San Diego, and Fresno offer dynamic spaces—like a professional podcast and production studio—where entrepreneurs can connect, collaborate, and amplify their impact. From leadership retreats to creative content, we help bring big ideas to life.
We also invest in mission-driven businesses through programs like the BBB Breakthrough Accelerator and BBB4Good Trustmark, and support the next generation through our nonprofit f.e.e.l. Foundation, which delivers ethical leadership education to students and underserved communities.
Integrity is at the heart of all we do—from celebrating student athletes through scholarships to honoring exceptional companies with our Torch Awards for Ethics.
Whether you're launching, growing, or looking for businesses you can trust—BBB is here to support your journey. Because we’re not just in the business of trust—we’re building it, one ethical connection at a time.
The American Arbitration Association® (AAA®), with its long history and experience in the field of alternative dispute resolution, provides services to individuals and organizations who wish to resolve conflicts out of court.
The AAA role in the dispute resolution process is to administer cases, from filing to closing. The AAA provides administrative services in the U.S., as well as abroad through its International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (ICDR®). The AAA's and ICDR's administrative services include assisting in the appointment of mediators and arbitrators, setting hearings, and providing users with information on dispute resolution options, including settlement through mediation. Ultimately, the AAA aims to move cases through arbitration or mediation in a fair and impartial manner until completion.
Additional AAA services include the design and development of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) systems for corporations, unions, government agencies, law firms, and the courts. The Association also provides elections services as well as education, training, and publications for those seeking a broader or deeper understanding of alternative dispute resolution.
