Our Harvard Extension School Family

"You are now the newest members of a family of more than 40,000 alumni worldwide.This is what makes you so special within the Harvard family. The grit, perseverance, and determination that brought you to this day is part of the DNA of all Extension School alumni." - Ariel Gamiño

"Each person here exists for a reason…to make this world a better place." - Christian Kurowski ALM International Relations '23

To see the future of higher education, look no further than today’s Extension Grads. Suzanne Spreadbury, Dean of Harvard Extension School, welcomed today’s graduates, noting that “each of you has contributed, in your own way, to changing the face of American higher education.”

"You are proof that there’s more than one way to experience the excellence of a Harvard education." - Dean Nancy Coleman

"The road to our door is usually harder and longer than the road to other universities. There are often more obstacles and detours, no matter what route you took to get here, you may not have known this is where you were headed -- until you’re here." - Dean Coleman

Congratulations to our graduates, but also, thank you to all the supporters who got them here- two legs or four! #HarvardExtension #HESProud #WeAreHES2023
