"Harvard is a great place because you have a lot of smart, ambitious people you can learn from, work with, and sleep with," said Jonnie Penn, one of four members of the project and MTV show "The Buried Life." In an event organized by the UC, the group spoke to a nearly full audience at HLS on Thursday. Embodying a refreshing blend of bro humor and antics coupled with the deeper pursuit to spread an empowering message, the boys spoke about their New York Times bestselling book, good deeds, and breaking into the Playboy Mansion dressed as Oompa Loompas.

On May 23, U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. will address Harvard Law School's graduating third-years as the Commencement Class Day Speaker. Holder, who recently led the Justice Department to vote against a voter ID law in Texas, was nominated by President Barack Obama to become the 82nd Attorney General of the U.S. in 2008. Eleven years earlier, in 1997, Holder became the first African-American to be named deputy attorney general. The Class Day Program at HLS will take place on Holmes Field, with a reception to be held afterwards.

The seemingly contradictory intersection between the campaigns points to what has been an important, though at times fraught, relationship between the President and his former advisor.

On Wednesday, March 7, Gelfand—who is in his third year and set to graduate in May—won an election that had been mired in controversy and gained national publicity.
