Graduate Profile: Prabhroop Kaur Chawla, MTS '23

How I've Changed  

Harvard has been a time of personal introspection and growth as much as it has been an academic and professional growth experience. Along with the immense intellectual stimulation and opportunities this place has offered, it has also brought moments of quiet, calm, and balance, which have marked my Harvard experience in transformative ways. 

Memorable Moment 

Orientation in August 2021 set the tone for the subsequent two years in a way that made me feel immediately at home in Cambridge. The sense of community, the desire to learn and unlearn, and the drive for initiative and leadership that is found at HDS has touched my memory forever. 

Favorite Class or Professor 

I really appreciated the interdisciplinary approach to courses and had the opportunity to take classes across schools, including the Kennedy and Law Schools to build on my academic background in international affairs. Some of my favourite classes at HDS and beyond include: "Ethics in a Business Context" with Professor John Brown, "Moral Conflict" with Professor Jeffrey Seul, and "Sparking Social Change" with Professor Sanderjin Cels. 

Message of Thanks  

I want to thank my family and friends from home, who have supported and guided me throughout my entire life and academic career with love, enthusiasm, and patience. I also want to thank my friends at HDS, who I will be friends with for life.
