...perhaps misleading. A snapshot of Chen’s resume reveals a person of Herculean capabilities: a Detur Book Prize winner, John Harvard Scholar, pre-med econ major interviewing for both medical schools and consulting firms (just landing a job at McKinsey & Co.) who has also spent one summer drafting a $31 million grant for malaria and AIDS intervention in Cambodia, another documenting sex workers in Kenya, and the times in between working in various organizations across campuses. “She is a programming chair of PBHA,” says Phillips Brooks House Association President (PBHA) Angelico...

A history and literature concentrator, Morgan is currently studying film, writing a thesis about collective memory and postwar national consciousness in France through cinema. This past summer he traveled to the French National Archives to perform the necessary research. “I think film has a much broader social impact in much subtler ways than might seem apparent,” he said.
