Harvard's 362nd Commencement

Events and coverage throughout the day of festivities, fanfare, and farewells

Join us once again at Tercentenary Theatre for Harvard University Commencement on May 30, 2013, as we congratulate the Class of 2013 and wish them well in the next exciting phase of their lives.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is proud to be awarding 182 undergraduate degrees (A.B. or S.B.) through Harvard College to a class that hails from 25 different countries.

To the graduate students, who are similarly international, we are awarding 27 master's degrees (M.E., S.M., or A.B./S.M.) and 52 doctoral degrees (Ph.D.) through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.*
