Non-CosmoGirl! readers may still recognize Chauhan around campus as the co-chair of the Harvard-Radcliffe Women’s Leadership Project (WLP), or as the business development chair for Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business. “The one word I would describe her with is passion,” says Supriya M. Balsekar ’08, co-chair of the WLP. Now Chauhan is applying that passion to different pursuits, such as developing a Web site, www.girlsinleadership.com, that aims to promote leadership among high school girls...
