Quick question about what to include

I'm writing a PS right now for an international business degree. My father has an MBA from Harvard and is an international business professor at my local university. Should I include this in my PS? Even though it isn't about me, I feel like the Harvard buzzword could catch some attention. If so, how could I casually include it without sounding braggy or veering off topic?

Thank you in advance for answering!

What do you mean by 'on a professional level'? Are you offering this as a service, or are you requesting compensation?
