For Morris, this reunion was another cherished opportunity to renew old friendships, and, in many instances, an occasion to build new ones. Class reunions are the HAA\u2019s flagship alumni event, the heart of the HAA\u2019s ambitious goal \u201cto make your Harvard experience last a lifetime.\u201d And Morris, whose personal involvement with the HAA board dates back 15 years, remained committed to making that happen."}
