Michael Sandel Moderates First Student-Led "Our Harvard" Event
On April 1, Professor Michael Sandel, a Faculty Associate at the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics, moderated the first student-led "Our Harvard" event. "Food For Thought: Our Harvard College," took place at the Smith Campus Center and brought together students to discuss complex topics like identity, belonging, and the Israel-Palestine conflict in a respectful, inclusive setting.
"Our Harvard," an initiative launched by Harvard College students, is aimed at fostering open dialogue across political, cultural, and ideological divides. Sparked by campus tensions following the Gaza conflict, the project was co-founded by Nim Ravid ’25 and began with informal coffee chats encouraging meaningful conversations among students.
"Our Harvard" is part of a broader effort to strengthen community and mutual understanding on campus. Organizers hope to expand its reach and continue creating spaces for dialogue and connection.
