Cynthia Garcia

My name is Cynthia Garcia, and I am a Junior (Class of 2027) from Countryside, IL in Pforzheimer House studying Social Studies and Economics. I am the Co-Chair of the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum Committee, which organizes and staffs speaker events that bring distinguished leaders from government, business, media, and civil society into meaningful dialogue with the Harvard community.

Over the next year, I am looking forward to strengthening the Forum's role in fostering civic conversation by featuring bold perspectives, innovative formats, and conversations that reflect the complexity of today's defining issues.

Outside of the IOP, I am involved in the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation, conduct research for the Transitional Justice Evaluation Team, and intern at the Harvard Law review. I have also interned for the Los Angeles County District Attorney. In my free time, I like to read, visit art museums, and travel with family.
