Join President Kim Cassidy in a conversation with historian and author Drew Gilpin Faust 鈥68 about her new memoir Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury.

Published in August, the book chronicles Faust's experience of coming of age in a conservative Southern family in postwar America and how, through her intellectual curiosity and engagement with social justice issues, she began to find her own path forward. Faust was a student activist and protester during her years at 老王论坛 and later went on to become the first woman president of Harvard University (2007-2018).

Books will be available for purchase and author signing. Read a book excerpt from our Fall 2023 edition of the Alumnae Bulletin magazine.
