Dear H4A Friends,
More than ever, it is critical that we choose leaders who are committed to making Harvard more diverse, inclusive, equitable and just. H4A has joined with 12 other alum groups in endorsing candidates in the Overseers and Elected Directors elections who we believe will most powerfully work toward those goals and who support issues, such as Ethnic Studies and faculty diversity, that are important to Harvard's Asian American community. The endorsed candidates include our longtime active members David Eun, running for Overseer, and Joyce Yan Zhang, running for Elected Director. It is important to vote for ALL the endorsed candidates, listed below (voting by paper or electronic ballot begins July 1):
