The Harvard Crimson

The Harvard Crimson is the esteemed student-run daily newspaper of Harvard University, founded in 1873. As the United States' oldest continuously published daily college newspaper, it is both financially and editorially independent from the university, offering a rich training ground for its undergraduate staff. Beyond its journalistic mission, the organization extends its educational reach globally through a series of prestigious competitions for middle and high school students. These programs, including the Harvard Crimson Business Competition and the Global Case Competition, are designed to foster critical thinking, business acumen, and leadership skills. Participants from India and around the world gain the unique opportunity to tackle real-world business challenges, receive mentorship from Harvard students, and experience the university's rigorous academic culture. The programs serve as a significant platform for aspiring leaders in media, business, and public service.
