In his Baccalaureate address to the Class of 2025, Harvard President Alan Garber highlighted the vital role of education in achieving moral, scientific, technological, and economic progress. Addressing a gathering at Tercentenary Theatre, Garber urged graduates to advocate for education, especially in light of federal funding cuts affecting university research. He also reflected on personal mentors who shaped his journey, encouraging graduates to express gratitude to those who guided them. His speech underscored the connections between knowledge, mentorship, and future achievements in society, as celebrated in this year's interfaith ceremony.
The best way to acknowledge Harvard - and what this time has meant to you - is to advocate for education.
Everything we might achieve - morally, scientifically, technologically, and even economically - is grounded in knowledge.
That conversation with him changed my life. I still think about it all these years later.
Send that note that you have been meaning to send to a mentor who meant more to you than they might realize.
