Naimbitahan si former vice president Leni Robredo sa Harvard Kennedy School bilang isa sa Hauser Leaders para sa Fall 2022 semester.
Inianunsyo ito ni Leni sa kanyang Twitter account noong September 1, 2022.
Ang kanyang tweet: “A huge honor to be invited at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership, as one of its Hauser Leaders for the Fall 2022 semester. What a blessing to be returning to Cambridge for this opportunity.”
Dagdag pa niya, “I’m both thrilled and humbled to be given this space to share my advocacies and experiences, alongside a roster of distinguished leaders from various fields.”
Makakasama ni Leni ang ilang U.S. leaders and key figures:
Jane Harman JD ’69
Distinguished Fellow and President Emerita, Wilson Center; U.S. Representative (CA-36) (1993-1999; 2010-2011)
David Ignatius AB ’72
Foreign Affairs Columnist, The Washington Post; novelist; Fisher Family Fellow, Future of Diplomacy Project (2010); Visiting Professor, HKS (Spring 2012)
Michael Lomax
President & CEO, United Negro College Fund (UNCF)
Dov Seidman JD ’92
Founder and Chairman of LRN and The HOW Institute for Society
Ayon sa Harvard Kennedy School, napili si Leni dahil sa nagawa nitong mga pagbabago sa Office of the Vice President, “from its traditional role of performing purely ceremonial functions to an advocacy-centered office.”
Pinaka-notable, ayon pa sa Harvard, ang poverty alleviation program ni Leni na Angat Buhay, na nakipag-ugnayan sa pribadong sektor para matulungan ang mga pinakamahihirap na Pilipino sa malalayong komunidad.
Binanggit din ang pag-upo niya sa Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council at sa Inter-agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs, na kahit sa loob lang ng maikling panahon ay nakalikha siya ng magagandang reporma.
Ang Hauser Leaders Program ay nag-iimbita ng iba’t ibang “high-profile leaders and practitioners from across public, nonprofit, and private sectors.”
Sa kabuuan ng semester, ang Hauser leaders ay makikipag-ugnayan—individually—sa mga estudyante, magbibigay ng guest lectures, at pangungunahan ang public events sa campus.
