Thousands of graduates, Harvard faculty, friends, and family crowded into Harvard Yard on Thursday for the University’s 374th Commencement Exercises. The celebration showed a united campus in support of international students as a federal judge upheld a block on the Trump administration’s attempt to end Harvard’s enrollment of international students during the exercises.
More than 300 people gathered in the Science Center Plaza to protest Trump administration threats to Harvard’s ability to enroll international students as part of a rally organized by Harvard Students for Freedom, an unrecognized student group.
This year, Harvard Athletics gave us no shortage of unforgettable moments and Crimson photographers are proud to have been there to capture them. From the 140th playing of The Game between Harvard and Yale at Harvard Stadium, to the return of women’s basketball to March Madness for the first time since 2007, the Multimedia Board had the chance to photograph some of the biggest moments of the year. Between the Ivy League championships, record-breaking performances, and quiet moments before the whistle blew, our photographers aimed to tell the story of the Crimson through every frame. These photos are just a snapshot of the energy, effort, and emotion that defined Harvard sports this year.
