Important Notice for Graduating Seniors And Their Parents

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 site at 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 country. Parents will also receive copies of the release. The releases will be sent out in the weeks after Commencement, and will include information about Latin honors.

Alex Huppé, director of public affairs, recommends listing smaller community newspapers, rather than major daily newspapers, for the best results. The News Office would also appreciate receiving copies of any stories that appear in hometown newspapers.

For more information, contact Andrew Dudley at the News Office, (617) 495-1585, or e-mail adudley@fas.harvard.edu.
