Harvard University can be regarded as the ideal of almost all students in the world. Each year, Harvard Law School accepts only around 800 students from all over the world. This year, Andhika Putra Sudarman is the only Indonesian who graduated from Harvard Law School, alma mater of former United States President Barack Obama. Not "just graduating", Andhika -a young man from Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands is also a "Harvard Law School Class Marshal" graduated with the award "Harvard Law School's Dean's Award" and gave a speech on Harvard Law School graduation day representing "Class of 2020". This achievement brings about not only happiness for Andhika, but also pride for his family and Indonesia.

Andhika is a native son of Tanjung Pinang who graduated from Tanjung Pinang 1 State High School, Riau Islands. Previously, he entered the Faculty of Law at University of Indonesia through the Written Examination in 2011. The winner of the 2014 National Level Student Achievement Champion became the first Indonesian youth in history to give a speech on the Harvard Law School graduation day since its foundation in 1817.

Since the beginning of his study in college, Andhika has been chosen to be a "Class Marshal" in his class. There were only 6 Class Marshals who were chosen through an election that represented around 800 people. Winning the hackathon competition held by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became his most unique experience. Other unique experiences were being a speaker at the American Democratic Debate, an event of Harvard Law School that simulated the debate of presidential candidates at the time.
