Strength in Community: Navigating Careers with Harvard Alumni
This event is designed to bring students and alumni together in conversation about career paths, job searching, and the value of professional community—particularly in today’s evolving job market. We hope to create a space where students can hear candid reflections from alumni about how they have navigated their careers, learn practical strategies for approaching the job search, and gain perspective on how the Harvard network can serve as a source of support and opportunity.

“Rovina’s Choice” Screening and Q&A with Atul Gawande
You are invited to a special screening of the New Yorker film “Rovina’s Choice,” a harrowing account of a mother’s efforts to save her daughter from sickness and starvation in the wake of the Trump administration’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Rovina Naboi’s devastating story represents the global impact of that decision on the world’s most vulnerable populations, and how it stopped decades of progress combating severe malnutrition and disease.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Executive Producer Atul Gawande, who served as the Assistant Administrator for Global Health at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) until last year.
