The Center for Public Leadership at Harvard Kennedy School on Thursday announced the appointment of former vice president Leni Robredo and four others as Hauser Leaders for its Fall 2022 semester.
Robredo shared the news on her Facebook page, which she called a "huge honor."
"A huge honor to be invited at Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, as one of its Hauser Leaders for the Fall 2022 semester," she said.
As Hauser Leaders, Robredo said they will engage with students, faculty, alumni, and other members of the Harvard community.
"I'm both thrilled and humbled to be given this space to share my advocacies and experiences, alongside this roster of distinguished leaders from various fields and sectors. What a blessing it is to be returning to Cambridge for this opportunity," she added.
Based on the CPL’s website, Robredo will be joined by leaders like former U.S. representative Jane Harman and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.
“At a time when many challenges stem from leadership shortcomings, these Hauser Leaders bring to campus living examples of principled and effective public leadership,” said Deval Patrick, co-director of the Center for Public Leadership and professor of the practice of public leadership, in a statement.
“Though from different experiences, these leaders share values, values applied in practical ways, that they can now share with the Kennedy School community," he added.
The announcement comes days after Robredo was also conferred an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics by the Ateneo de Manila University.
