Hooding Ceremony hosted by the Division of Medical Sciences postponed

The DMS Hooding Ceremony hosted by the Division of Medical Sciences has been postponed. Due to the advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other public health officials, and Harvard's own faculty it has been determined that such a large gathering cannot safely be held this spring.

On May 27, 2021, Harvard University will convene online at 10:30 a.m. for the Honoring the Harvard Class of 2021 virtual program and The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will follow at 1:00 p.m. with a virtual GSAS Graduation Recognition Ceremony where each participant's name will be read and recognized. Please see the GSAS website for further details about Commencement, and do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions or concerns.

We look forward to watching the livestream of the GSAS Graduation Recognition Ceremony and celebrate the Division of Medical Science graduates. Please find a list of our graduates below.
