During Harvard's commencement, graduates reflected on the significant changes during their time at the university, particularly in the context of national issues surrounding higher education, diversity, and the Trump administration's policies. Graduates voiced their pride in defending the university's values, despite the challenges it faces, such as funding threats and changes to admissions for international students. The ceremonies underscored a collective commitment among alumni to advocate for diversity and integrity in higher education amidst ongoing political tensions.
We leave a campus much different than the one we entered, with Harvard at the center of a national battle of higher education in America.
Our university is certainly imperfect, but I am proud to stand today alongside our graduating class, our faculty, our president with the shared conviction that this ongoing project of veritas is one that is worth defending.
