Candice Chiu ’04, of Kirkland House, made the third team even though she only applied at the last minute.
In her application, she focused on her work for the Asian-American community. Chiu co-founded the Boston Asian Student Alliance, and also organized the Asian-American Intern Reception for the Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao in Washington, D.C.
Other Harvard winners include Currier House resident Bradford W.Y.F. Lee ’04 and Pforzheimer resident Christina H. Chen ’04.
While the first team winners are awarded a $2,500 prize and trophy, the second and third team receive only a certificate.
Tsay said that one of Tsay’s friends joked to her, “The money is barely enough for your parents to buy up all of those copies of USA Today,”
Ironically, she has only the single copy that Currier saved for her.
