BACKGROUND

At a class reunion in 2013, members of the Harvard-Radcliffe Class of ’73 launched an initiative devoted to the principle that it’s not too late to change the world. In a time of national and global strife and distrust in institutions, professional expertise, and truth itself, ClassACTors share and apply the experience that education, community, and collective energy have put within their reach.

With a belief that education underwrites human flourishing, that a diverse and inclusive community is more than the sum of its parts, and that inquiry and imagination set the essential steps towards a new and better life for all, ClassACT HR73 develops programming in the areas of the Arts, Education, Environment & Climate, Healthcare, and Justice & Civic Engagement. Programming includes ClassACT Forums, action-oriented alerts, consulting support of 15 non-profits involving classmates, skillbased webinars supporting the non-profit community and the Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program- a fellowship that support mid-careerleaders enrolled in the Edward S. Mason Program (MC/MPA) of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
