Rihanna made an appearance at the Ivy League school to accept a plaque given to her by Allen Counter, the director of the Harvard Foundation. She was named Humanitarian of the Year by Harvard University. 29-year-old star, who by the way has never graduated high school, was honored thanks for her charitable efforts. She created an oncology center in Barbados to fight breast cancer ans found the non-profit, The Clara Lionel Foundation Global Scholarship Program, to assist in funding Caribbean-born students who attend college in the U.S. Rihanna also backs the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen Project, that provides ‘access to education in over 60 developing countries, giving priority to girls, and those affected by lack of access to education in the world today.’
Rihanna becomes the 1st female singer to receive Harvard University’s "Humanitarian of the Year.“ Very deserving.
