There is a strong sense of trust among graduates of Harvard and other Ivy League universities, regardless of their backgrounds or nationalities. They always support each other once they realize they studied at the same institution.

I have always wanted my students to build the same kind of support network, even if they were in different groups. That’s why I organize football matches for the boys—to help them get to know each other better.

Imagine two adults negotiating a deal. The moment they discover they were both my students, they choose to trust each other and reach an agreement because of that shared connection. How incredible would that be?
