CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Harvard University thinks Rihanna shines bright like a diamond when it comes to philanthropy. The Grammy Award-winning singer was honored Tuesday as Harvard?s 2017 Humanitarian of the Year. ?So I made it to Harvard,? Rihanna said as she accepted the honor. She recalled first becoming inspired to help others by way of commercials she?d watch during her childhood imploring viewers to help sponsor starving children in Africa. Rihanna also supports the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen Project, providing children with access to education in developing countries.
