JENNY KORN (MPP '98)
re-elected to second consecutive term
I believe in solidarity, and I am a lifetime member of every Harvard race-based alumni association, including H4A, the Harvard Black Alumni Society (HBAS), the Harvard Latino Alumni Alliance (HLAA), and the Native American Alumni of Harvard University (NAAHU). I graduated from the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) in 1998 with a master’s in public policy. My commitment to Harvard has included serving on the HKS Alumni Executive Board and as Digital Chapter Chair and board member of H4A. I have volunteered with Harvard Alumni for Black Advancement and Coalition for a Diverse Harvard. I have led 50+ Harvard Diversity Discussions online on race that have been supported by numerous institutional co-hosts and co-organized with hundreds of individuals. Since 2017, I have been affiliated with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, part of Harvard Law School, where I am the Founding Director of the Race+Tech+Media Working Group. As a public scholar, I have been quoted on identity and technology by NPR, CNN, Bustle, Colorlines, Fox News, Forbes, Mashable, Reader’s Digest, U.S. News & World Report, The Washington Post, and more. I am a racial justice activist with diverse board experiences and a proven track record for making a positive difference, and I hope you will vote for me, so that I may bring an underrepresented voice as a Thai Alabamian to the board of H4A.
