Hillary Clinton to receive prestigious Harvard medal for ‘transformative impact on society’

Hillary Clinton is being honored with a medal during Harvard University’s graduation week.

The former First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for president will be awarded Friday in Cambridge with the Radcliffe Medal, which the university says honors individuals whose life and work have had a “transformative impact on society.”

Organizers say Clinton was chosen because she’s a “champion for human rights,” a “skilled legislator” and “an advocate of American leadership” on the world stage.
