As a schoolboy, Liviu Librescu survived the Holocaust; but as a professor more than six decades later, he died blocking a classroom door to save his students.

Like so many other seniors, it was outside the classroom that I discovered the truest form of leadership comes from the kind of teamwork and solidarity that I’ve been fortunate to share with my peers and mentors here. And while I’m grateful for my time in the classroom, I hope that Harvard will continue to promote “camp Harvard...
