Two students have been named the 2025 David and Mimi Aloian Memorial Scholars for enriching the quality of life in their Houses: Joseph Foo ’26 (Pforzheimer House) and Hayden Graham ’26 (Leverett House).
Joseph Foo, of Singapore, was elected secretary of the House Committee and is a steady, uplifting presence who fosters community through quiet, consistent acts of care, most notably in the connections he builds with dining hall staff. He is also Pforzheimer’s student ambassador to the Office for the Arts and brings creativity to his leadership—connecting peers to artistic opportunities and curating interpretive labels for newly installed House artwork.
As co-chair of the Leverett House Committee and director of all 24 residential House chairs, Hayden Graham, of Vernon Hills, Illinois, has transformed a modest team into a dynamic and collaborative group of more than a dozen members. He has also led the planning and execution of a wide range of events—from weekly Stein nights to large formals, the Spring River East party, Housing Day celebrations, and more—that bring together hundreds of students and foster a deep sense of belonging
