As Harvard University's 374th Commencement approaches, families reflect on their vital support during their children’s academic journeys. For instance, Gunjan and Gurmeet Batra express pride in their son Arjun's graduation in electrical engineering, underscoring the significance of family legacy and support. Meanwhile, Carolyn Fanning recounts the years spent driving her son Owen for volleyball, emphasizing parental commitment. Each family's story illustrates not just individual achievements but the collective effort behind those who graduate, celebrating the strong bonds that help nurture their success.
"It's a very proud moment for our entire family," said mom Gunjan in a bustling Harvard Yard on Wednesday. "It's been lovely having him go through the process and through such a prestigious institution."
"On one hand, he's graduating and moving on, exploring new ventures," Gurmeet said. "On the other hand, he's going to miss this. College is the place you build memories."
"I'd call them every night and complain about a p-set or complain about a class, and they'd help me get through it. Having their support in the background, being there always, has been incredible."
"Without great support, people don't typically get here. It’s been years of commitment to do whatever it takes to make it possible for Owen to succeed."
