It’s not every day that Harvard’s graduating seniors are envious of their peers.
But when it comes to this year’s graduation ceremonies, which the college will hold virtually in late May, there’s more than a little bit of wistful yearning among Harvard’s students.
“It’s definitely tough, when you have so many schools in the country [doing something different] and it’s hard not to compare,” said Prashanth “PK” Kumar, 22, from Atlanta, who as a second marshal helps organize senior class events leading up to commencement. “Harvard’s making the safest choice at the moment, but I would love to have my family and friends visit.”
