Harvard University is unarguably one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1636, it is among the oldest in the United States.(20)In 2007, Harvard named historian and scholar Drew Gilpin Faust its 28th president. She is the first woman to hold that position. Other American universities have had women presidents. But when Harvard named Drew Gilpin Faust as its first woman president, the world took note.
"At a press conference right after the announcement of my appointment, I was asked something about what it felt like to be the first woman president of Harvard,". Faust recalls. "My response, which I had not thought in advance, was that I wasn’t the woman president of Harvard, I was the president of Harvard. "
But Faust soon realized that being the first woman to hold that position did matter to a lot of people.
"The response to my appointment from young girls and women all over the world, from the parents of young girls, was so moving," she says.(21)"They found in my appointment an indication of hope and aspiration that they or their children could embrace. And that made me recognize that being the first woman president of Harvard has a lot of significance, and I ought not to forget. "
(22)Since becoming president of Harvard, Faust has made it a priority to ensure that the cost of education at the elite private university does not prohibit talented applicants from attending. The annual tuition, room and board for a Harvard undergraduate is more than $50,000, but the majority of students pay much less.

22. What did Faust do after she became president of Harvard?
