Harvard Newstalk

This week on The Harvard Crimson's Newstalk, reporters Rahem D. Hamid ’25 and Ryan H. Doan-Nguyen ’25 join host Frank S. Zhou '26 to discuss Harvard's chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest academic honor society. Last week, 24 Harvard juniors learned that they were the first members of their class tapped for the chapter. Hear them share their reactions and learn about the breadth of disciplines that they study. Also in this episode, Miles J. Herszenhorn '25, Claire Yuan '25, and Marina Qu '25 take a look at the candidates for Harvard's Board of Overseers, the University’s second-highest governing body. Voting lasts until May 16, with all Harvard graduates who received their degree as of Jan. 1 — numbering over 400,000 — eligible to vote except administrators and faculty.
