In her stirring conclusion, Abushaar reframed the concept of revolution for her graduating class. While the world focused on the Arab Spring and Ukrainian revolution — upheavals defined by physical confrontation — she argued that the 6,000 graduates of Harvard's Class of 2014 represented 6,000 revolutions of the mind being launched into the world. She called it 'the Harvard Spring' — great ideas sparked behind Chipotle burritos and Starbucks coffee cups in Harvard Square that could be carried out into the real Tahrir Squares of the world. Her vision was of a revolution that transcended geography and violence: one powered by education, civil discourse, and the belief that intractable problems could become opportunities for change.
