Join us once again at Tercentenary Theatre for Harvard University Commencement on May 29, 2014, as we congratulate the Class of 2014 and wish them well in the next exciting phase of their lives.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is proud to be awarding 231 undergraduate degrees (A.B. or S.B.) through Harvard College.

To the graduate students, we are awarding 84 master's degrees (M.E. or S.M.) and 65 doctoral degrees (Ph.D.) through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.*

Meet the Graduates

Among the Class of 2014 are Erik Kraus, who designed a new glove for a space suit; Zamyla Chan, who guided thousands of students through CS 50 and CS 50x; and Katie Cagen, who designed a tactile display for the visually impaired.
