My name is Diana Lysenko, I’m a graduate student at Harvard. Growing up in Lviv, Ukraine I dreamed of studying at one of the most sophisticated academic institutions in the world - Harvard University. I was lucky enough to get admitted and become part of this great community. But ever since Russia attacked Ukraine my thoughts are with my friends and family back home… My brother, who is only 18, has joined Territorial Defense. My uncle who has never served in the military was sent to the frontlines in Donetsk. The cities in Eastern Ukraine have been bombed and civilians have been killed indiscriminately. My undergraduate counterpart, Nika Rudenko, used to live in Bucha; her brother managed to escape only a few days ago. Another undergrad, Yegor Tverdokhlibov, has family in Kharkiv who barely had the time to flee the city.
The path of freedom is the most consistent with the values of our community. Ukrainians, bloodied and bruised, keep defending the values of freedom, the right to self-determination, and the pursuit of happiness that are deeply rooted in our hearts and minds. If we are true to our historic tradition, we cannot let Putin and his regime win.
We ask you to carry on the tradition of the good people who have brought light where there was darkness, medicine where there was disease, food where there was hunger and peace, and victory where there was bloodshed and death.
With the war in Ukraine, we have come together to establish the Harvard Ukrainian Students Association (HUSA) to tackle current social and humanitarian issues in Ukraine. Through various fundraising initiatives, we secure vital medical and humanitarian aid. We ask for your help and support in these trying times. We are delighted to participate in this year’s Mayfair (Sun, May 15th). Please stop by our tent to make a difference! If you would like to learn more or get involved, please check out our website or reach out to Diana Lysenko.
The Harvard Ukrainian Student Association (HUSA) was established to foster collaboration among Ukrainian students and their allies across the twelve Harvard Schools. With the war in Ukraine, HUSA’s mission has broadened to include current social and humanitarian issues. We aim to help the people of Ukraine through various fundraising initiatives to secure vital medical and humanitarian aid. We work with large non-profits as well as local Ukrainian organizations that are underfunded.

Harvard Square BeeFeed
The BeeFeed is doing it's thing. Dandelions came and went. We've got these proud orange flowers now, and I expect a pallet of other colors soon. I haven't got a picture of a bee on an island flower yet, but I've seen some buzzing about. I'd like to express my gratitude to the City, the HSBA, its members and Harvard Square for this opportunity to keep the Square lush.
Love, peace, and be well, Kevin Tyler
