Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook has returned to Harvard to pick up his degree 12 years after dropping out to work full-time on Facebook.
Mark founded what was then called “The Facebook” in 2004 in his college dormitory. The Facebook was at first limited to only Harvard students before later expanding to other Ivy League universities.
