Welcome from the Director:
Commencement at Harvard is a powerful time for the students and those that supported them – faculty and family alike – as they mark the beginning of bold, new chapters in their lives. It is our profound joy to both maintain this tradition and to welcome these individuals into the growing community of Harvard alumni/ae around the world.
We hope that you will join us in celebrating our students’ accomplishments.
