Victoria "Vicky" Wai Ka Leung
AB '91
Victoria "Vicky" Wai Ka Leung is an international strategic advisory professional promoting life sciences and other life-enhancing technologies. She is also a long-time volunteer and current president of the Harvard Club of the United Kingdom, the largest Club outside of the US.
Leung grew up in Hong Kong and attended the United World College in the UK for two years because of its commitment to “deliberate diversity.” As a Social Studies concentrator in the early ‘90s, she challenged a Harvard history professor on presenting the British Empire only from the colonizers’ point of view. Now working with one of the UK’s leading independent day schools, she helps lead a committee successfully increasing financial aid for low-income students.
Leung gave particularly in-depth answers to our questionnaire. She opposes legacy admissions and believes ethnic studies should be integrated into Harvard’s Gen Ed requirements.
