Sylvia Mathews Burwell and Monica Bharel have been appointed to leadership roles on Harvard University's Board of Overseers for the 2025-2026 academic year. Burwell, a former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, will serve as president, while Bharel, a public health leader at Google Health, will be vice chair. They succeed Vivian Hunt and Tyler Jacks, who held these roles the previous year. Their leadership is expected to leverage their extensive experience in health, education, and governance to further advance the university's mission.
"Sylvia Burwell and Monica Bharel are accomplished alumni leaders whose experience overcoming complex challenges under extraordinary circumstances will serve Harvard well," said President Alan Garber.
"As a physician, a public health expert, and a government leader, Monica has combined compassion with evidence-based solutions to keep people healthy throughout the region and across the country."
