Reeves also said the Harvard, MIT, the business community and the residential community, must all be treated as important members of a single community.
"It is very important that Harvard students understand that they are an integral part of the city," Reeves said. "In a democracy, it takes the participation of all the citizens, and students are citizens."
Reeves, a member of the Phillips Brooks House (PBH) advisory committee, said community involvement is an excellent learning opportunity--a "little laboratory" for learning about politics and social action.
The mayor said the city has implemented several progressive programs, including universal health care and the nation's oldest school choice system. "We're ahead of Bill and Hillary Clinton in health care," Reeves said.
Tim E. Codrington '95, co-chair of the Carribean Club, said he appreciated Reeves' taking the time to speak to a small group of students. Though he is not currently involved in the political process, "I might volunteer after this meeting."
