Lady Gaga is planning to launch a "Born This Way" foundation at Harvard! Yup, you read that right! 

Gaga and her mother are prepping to launch a new foundation in hopes of boosting youth empowerment and equality, but focusing on self-esteem and the issue of bullying. 

MTV Reports

Gaga has long been a staunch supporter of anti-bullying legislation, reportedly meeting with President Obama to discuss the topic in September and visiting the White House in early December to discuss the issue with administration officials. 

During her acceptance speech at Trevor Project Live, Gaga touched on her wishes to someday make bullying a hate crime. "I hope that we can acknowledge all together that where this needs to begin is in the schools," Gaga said. "I want my fans and people all over the world to know that there's always somebody that's listening. But I want them to know they're listening before it gets too late."
