From classrooms to field trips. From strangers to lifelong friends. From Yenching to the world. Joined by faculty, alumni, families, and distinguished guests—including Yuan Ming 袁明, Honorary Dean of Yenching Academy—the graduates reflected on two years of academic discovery and cultural exchange. The ceremony featured inspiring remarks by Roger T. Ames 安乐哲, Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Hawaiʻi, and Dong Qiang 董强, Dean of Yenching Academy, who encouraged students to continue building bridges across cultures and contributing to a more connected world. As graduates crossed the stage, turned their tassels, and celebrated with classmates from around the globe, they closed one chapter while opening another. Congratulations, Class of 2026.

From Harvard classrooms to the Olympic podium and a career in finance, @USAFencing athlete Lauren Scruggs is redefining what high performance looks like Learn more about her Winning Formula:

A strong marriage isn’t a classroom where one spouse is automatically the teacher and the other is automatically the student. Wisdom is built through experience, honest feedback, good judgment, and two people willing to learn from each other. A good partner doesn’t create your wisdom they help bring out the wisdom you’re willing to develop. That distinction changes the whole conversation.
