The first in his family to graduate from college, Christopher Altizer grew up in Tucson, Arizona, where he discovered the value of getting involved and finding community. When he found himself in a single as a Harvard sophomore, he extended extra effort into being involved on campus and at Winthrop House. ⠀ ⠀ Chris is an active member of Harvard’s Queer Advisory Council and a Peer Advising Fellow for first-years, and also serves as the coordinator and a volunteer for Phillips Brooks House’s Mission Hill after-school program. When the pandemic hit, Chris knew that bringing people together would be especially challenging. “It’s important to stay positive more than ever now. Community persists but in very different ways, and we have to adjust and adapt,” he says.⠀ ⠀ Next year, Chris will be a Harvard Teacher Fellow in Chelsea, Massachusetts, while pursuing a master’s in education.⠀ ⠀ ---⠀ We are highlighting some of the amazing graduates in the Class of #Harvard21⠀ ⠀ #Harvard Photo: ros...
