At Harvard University’s most recent Commencement Ceremony, female President Drew Faust had an important reminder for staff and students: "We as a University live under the protections of the public trust. It is our obligation to nurture and educate talents to serve that trust—creating the people and the ideas that can change the world."
Evidently, attending an elite university like Harvard isn’t simply about getting rich or fulfilling your academic potential. It’s also about public service - what you can give back to others. Even before graduation, Harvard students play an important role in contributing to the public good.
At Harvard Law School, every student must complete 40 hours of unpaid community legal services before graduating. Second-year law student Jessica Lewis recently helped a young male refugee gain a form of protection known as asylum status. She told the Harvard Gazette that the work "changed my experience in law school".
In the Graduate School of Design, Harvard students have recently designed post- earthquake shelters in Haiti. Harvard students have also developed architectural strategies to combat airborne disease in a new tuberculosis hospital which they built in Rwanda.
Many students continue to keep Harvard’s humanitarian mission alive after they leave. The rate of seniors choosing public service upon graduation has increased over the last two years, from 17 to 26 percent. Last year, nearly 20 percent of graduating seniors applied for Teach for America, a New York-based nonprofit group which recruits the brightest college graduates to teach in low-income communities.
Harvard graduate Aaron J. Garcia passed up job offers paying $20,000 more than he currently earns with Teach for America Garcia, 24, says President Faust had a lot to do with his decision."She said that it was the responsibility of educated people and scholars to shape the world in meaningful ways, and this is what’s most meaningful to me", he told Bloomberg News.
Top universities besides Harvard have influenced students to start making a difference. The most popular job for graduates of Oxford University in the UK is teaching, with 25 percent of them working in secondary schools. Former Oxford student Max Haimenforf is now a head science teacher at the King Solomon Academy in London."Oxford life inspired me to want to give back to others and provide those from challenging backgrounds the same opportunity I had been given", he told the university.
Oxford also encourages graduates to help society by pursuing research careers. The university currently has more than 4,000 postgraduate research students working across all major disciplines, from medicine to social sciences. One group of medical researchers is looking at whether it’s possible to treat heart muscle damaged in heart attacks with injections of stem cells.
And for more than a decade, Oxford graduates at the Center for the Study of African Economies have been addressing how to alleviate poverty in Africa through measures such as rural development.
From educating disadvantaged students to mending broken hearts, elite universities bring the best minds to the world’s biggest problems. Their students prove that personal success may be important, but public gain is even richer.
