Alexei Chijoff-Evans

With a name like Alexei Chijoff-Evans one would easily think I’m fresh from Eastern Europe, but I was actually born in Redding, California and spent most of my time growing up in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. I am a senior (’11), majored in Social Anthropology and played tennis on the varsity team throughout my time at Harvard. When I was not playing tennis or studying I spent my time djing or traveling to fun places in Boston. I spent a year on the Kirkland house committee where I was the social chair and loved every minute of it. A particularly fun college memory is from the summer of ’09 where I was in in Tokyo, Japan for a study abroad trip (and obviously all of the HY football games). Working for Harvard Student Agencies after graduating is not as perplexing of a decision as one would immediately think. I love Boston, not sitting at a desk all day (yet), and being surrounded by fun and dynamic individuals. Unfortunately, I wont be able to deliver water bottles for too long as I will be attending law school in the Fall.

In order to prepare for my future profession, I am excited by academic and experiential opportunities that focus on the study of the beginnings, development, and organization of human societies, and human behavior within societies.
