Turng to her future role, Gay said Harvard’s missn “lls to take a leap to the unknown, to have the bravery, the drive, the unbridled cursy to search for answers to the qutns that really matter.

”Followg the public event, Gay met wh reporters, briskly answerg qutns on the affirmative actn lawsu (too soon to say, but Harvard “will ntue to champn diversy”); her public role movg Harvard beyond the ivory tower (the Universy will be “engaged wh the issu that feel urgent, ” such as “the future of mocracy”—but she won’t ci on her own public role until she is better acquated wh the parts of the stutn she don’t yet know well); divtment; and other issu. ”The day was done, but the last of Gay’s earlier remarks still echoed the transformed afternoon: “I n’t wa to get to work.

As FAS an, Gay has direct experience of most of the fields, so she n perhaps vote more time to explorg the profsnal schools’ needs and wants. The selectn of Gay is emblematic of those yet, external factors may well tervene. Though any rponse will nomally be the College’s, Gay might have the opportuny (or the sire) to make a mark early her princy by rethkg legacy, faculty, and other admissns preferenc.

)At the same time, Gay will likely want to implement the remendatns of the report on Harvard and the legacy of slavery—a part of g to terms wh s history and current meangs. That uld bee a major, and possibly fg, task for Gay’s loomg over the timg of such an effort is 2036: Harvard’s four-hundredth anniversary, and another opportuny to take stock of what the place has acplished and might aspire to.

In Gay, the Universy has a lear at age 52 young enough to stay the urse, if wanted. Thereafter, one might project more hts of Gay’s emergg agenda—certaly by the time of a gala stallatn ceremony, most likely early this fall.
