Harvard University has really been upping its brand these last few years. First they had David Hogg as a student (who recently graduated), then Brian Stelter was brought on board as a Shorenstein Center Fellow. Up next we meet their newest teacher:
Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s next chapter will take her to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where she will teach a course tentatively titled “Health Policy and Leadership,” drawing heavily on her experiences steering the city through the COVID-19 pandemic and grappling with health equity issues.
