According to its website, the foundation aims to "improve relations among racial and ethnic groups within the University and to enhance the quality of our common life." The award will be presented on March 3rd as part of the Cultural Rhythms Festival, an annual event put on by the Harvard Foundation that features "student performances and ethno-cultural cuisine from over 30 student organizations."
