WHAT IS HARVARD FORWARD?
The 2020 Harvard election is over.
Join our mailing list to find out what comes next for Harvard Forward.
We're a campaign created by concerned alumni. We're working to elect five candidates to the Harvard Board of Overseers on a platform that pushes Harvard to live up to the University's ideals. This includes:
1.
Becoming a climate leader through divesting from fossil fuels, increasing climate education and research, and on campus sustainability initiatives.
2.
Making our governance more inclusive by increasing representation of recent alumni and connecting with current students.
3.
Aligning our investments with our values by creating more transparent and robust Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines.
VOTE FOR HARVARD FORWARD
WHO
Any Harvard/Radcliffe degree holder from Harvard’s 12 schools.*
*Unfortunately, recent graduates of the class of 2020 and “Harvard officers of instruction and government” are not eligible to vote, even if they hold degrees.
