Congratulations to the 2024 Commencement Marshals!

The Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Harvard Griffin GSAS) is proud to announce the 2024 Commencement Marshals. One of Harvard's most cherished traditions, to be named a marshal is considered an honor for a graduating student.

Selected by the Harvard Griffin GSAS Student Council and nominated by fellow students, graduate program administrators, or Harvard faculty, the Commencement Marshals play a crucial role on graduation day, assisting the School's deans in organizing the procession from the Lawns at Richards Hall to Harvard Yard. As they lead the graduating class into Tercentenary Theatre, they proudly raise the Harvard Griffin GSAS gonfalon, a symbol of its history and tradition.

The 2024 Commencement Marshals representing the doctor of philosophy are:

• Jonathan Boretsky, PhD, mathematics
• Iman Mohamed Said Darwish, PhD, history of science
• Gino Domel, PhD, engineering sciences
• Kelcee Alexandria Everette, PhD, biological and biomedical sciences
• Sonya V. Gupta, AM, regional studies–Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia
• Ayana LaShae Henderson, PhD, biological and biomedical sciences
• Chanthia C. Ma, PhD, biological and biomedical sciences
• Amy Tsang, PhD, sociology.

Sonya V. Gupta, AM, regional studies—Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, has been chosen as the 2024 Commencement Marshal representing graduates with a master of arts, master of science, or master of engineering. Ms. Gupta and Ms. Henderson have also been selected as the student speaker for their respective Harvard Griffin GSAS Diploma Awarding Ceremony. 

Congratulations to all the 2024 marshals on behalf of the entire Harvard Griffin GSAS community!
