Voting is underway for the presidential election in the US, and the eyes of the world are focused on this crucial event. Amidst this, Harvard University is rallying around Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris with an exclusive dinner party. This marks the first time in modern history that an event of this nature on election night will be held at a college campus. Notably, Kamala Harris is an alumnus, having graduated from Harvard University in 1986.
Nigel Johnson, a student from Harvard's Law Department, expressed his excitement about the event. He shared, 'This is a significant occasion. Seeing alumni and classmates achieve great things is always inspiring. It's an honor to showcase the calibre of individuals the university educates to the world. Harvard is synonymous with leadership.'
'Elevating the University Profile'
Another student, Jade, highlighted the prestige Harris's success could confer upon the university. Having an alumnus as the Vice President of the US reflects positively on the institution's ability to nurture future leaders.
Student Ben expressed anticipation over Harris potentially becoming the next President of the United States. He remarked, 'It's incredible to think we might have the first female President hail from our university.'
Campus Elegantly Decorated
In honor of Kamala Harris, Harvard University's campus has been beautifully adorned.
This election is considered one of the most competitive presidential races in recent decades. Should Kamala Harris win, she would become the first female and South Asian-American President in US history.
Kamala Harris is well-known for embracing her 'Black' identity. Her father is of Jamaican heritage, while her mother hails from Tamil Nadu in India.
