Harvard Football's Winning Streak Inspires Amid Challenges
Harvard University faces significant institutional challenges, including President Trump's funding freezes, student visa restrictions, and new taxes on endowments. Despite these difficulties, the university’s football team has emerged as a beacon of pride and hope.
The Harvard Crimson football team is undefeated with a 7-0 record, marking its best season in ten years. Ranked 15th nationally, the team is poised to win the Ivy League championship and could make history by becoming the first Ivy League team to compete in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.

“If the institution is under assault, it makes it a little more special to be here and support the place on a day like today.”
Impact on International Students
International students, anxious all year over visa approvals, found a moment of joy and inclusion during their first American football game at Harvard’s Allston stadium.
