Northeastern will host its 2026 undergraduate commencement on April 29 in Fenway Park, the university's commencement page said. In an Instagram post, the school's mascot, Paws, prances about a Duff-coded dorm room, jamming to her song "What Dreams Are Made Of." Paws' pretend concert is interrupted by a bedazzled flip phone vibrating with a phone call from Duff, before an announcement about the star's planned appearance fills the screen.
Conan O'Brien is a singular and outstanding American humorist. His work, deeply rooted in close listening and keen observation, creates joyful connections between and among ideas and people. I look forward to sharing the stage with him in Tercentenary Theatre later this year. Harvard is tremendously fortunate to call him one of our own.
