NOTICE to Graduating Seniors

Harvard College seniors have the opportunity to notify their hometown newspapers about their graduation through a service of the Harvard Office of News and Public Affairs.

All graduating seniors are encouraged to fill out the electronic press release form on the News Office Web page at http://www.news.harvard.edu/hometown.

The News Office will take the information entered and use it to send formal press releases to newspapers across the United States. Parents will also receive copies of the release. The releases will be sent out in the weeks after the June 4 Commencement, and will include information about Latin honors.

Alex Huppé, director of public affairs, recommends listing smaller community papers, rather than major dailies, for the best results. The News Office would also like to have copies of any newspaper clips that appear in hometown papers.

If you have any questions, call the News Office at 495-1585.
