Undergraduate Council Vice President Dhruv P. Goyal ’16 delivered a speech titled "State of the College" to peers in Lowell dining hall Monday, reflecting on his time in the Council and stressing the overall goals of his initiatives so far this semester. Goyal’s speech was part of an annual speech series in Lowell House, where he resides.
Goyal expressed his desire to achieve a balance between fulfilling broad imperatives like inclusion and empowerment and also delivering tangible items to the student body.
“I thought that I had to do something to give back to the institution that has played such an instrumental role in the formative years of my life,” Goyal said. “It is my love and passion for Harvard that has led me to spend hours to perfect this institution.”
Goyal attributed his international background as a major influence on his involvement in the Council and initiatives piloted by UC President Ava Nasrollahzadeh ’16 and himself.
He added that his passion for “giving back” has served as inspiration for initiatives such as Ventfull, the UC-sponsored calendar application, and Side by Side, a gender equity campaign spearheaded by Mather House representative and inactive Crimson news editor Michelle S. Lee ’16.
