Several Harvard alumni, including Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, are involved in the upcoming election for the Board of Overseers at Harvard. Julia Pollak is running for the Board of Overseers, seeking to end what she calls 'craziness.' Sam Lessin is also campaigning for a nomination for the ballot as a reform candidate. Mark Zuckerberg has expressed support for Lessin's candidacy. The election is open to 'outside' candidates, unlike the self-perpetuating Harvard Corporation. The involvement of prominent figures like Zuckerberg and Chan has brought attention to the election, with efforts to garner nominations from Harvard alumni.
