...fourth annual ceremony. “The Senior Class Committee is a great group and they were the ones who pushed the event. These are their classmates and they feel pretty passionate about wanting to recognize them and their accomplishment,” he said. Lowell House Master Diana Eck addressed the mid-year graduates, praising their unconventional experiences at Harvard. “I think there is something really valuable about graduating midyear and thinking about Harvard in a different way, as more than hoopla.
