Congrats to David J. Malan and the CS50 team on the incredible achievement of crossing the four million enrollment mark! This is a milestone moment for CS50 and #HarvardX and a testament to Harvard University’s commitment to increasing access to high-quality education on a global scale.
Wonderful to spend an evening with President Larry Bacow, his charming wife Adele and Harvard Alumni Association in #Jordan. Truly Harvard University is synonymous with #opportunity to serve, connect & innovate for the greater good, across borders. #HarvardNetwork #Harvard
