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