Families and Friends Begin Entering Harvard Yard

The families and friends of graduates are filtering through the gates of Harvard Yard to snag prime seats for this morning’s Commencement ceremony.

Though light rain fell on Cambridge late last night, the skies have cleared and the weather is expected to hold throughout the proceedings.

Morning Exercises are scheduled to begin at around 9:30 a.m. and last until 12:15.

The ceremony will feature remarks from student orators, administrators, and each school dean. Comedian Conan O’Brien ’85 will headline as the annual Commencement speaker.
