CIRSD carried out an online webinar titled “A path to Harvard University?”
This virtual event was another installment of CIRSD’s Youth Panel series. Hundreds of applicants’ biographies and motivation statements were considered before the selection was made. The event included over 60 participants and thanks to the guests’ detailed reflections of their experiences, was extremely insightful for Serbian students with the goal of studying at Harvard University.
Vuk Jeremić, an alumnus of Harvard University and President of CIRSD, moderated the panel, which included Nikola Ivica (Harvard College and MIT), Iva Đurović (Harvard Kennedy School), and Marija Momić (Harvard Law School). These leading professionals in the fields of economics, law, and biochemistry gave helpful advice to participants on financial matters, the Harvard application and admissions process, qualifications, and job prospects after graduating.
