Chief Marshal Nominations

The Class of 1982 elected Nicholas Kristof to be the Chief Marshal of Alumni for Commencement on June 7th, 2007. Congratulations Nick! And congratulations as well, to the other 8 candidates for Chief Marshal. It is an honor indeed to be selected by your class to be a candidate.

Selection as Chief Marshal of the Alumni for Commencement is a signal honor, and the Harvard Alumni Association continues to follow the tradition whereby the 25th Reunion Class may elect one of their members. The Chief Marshal represents all of the Alumni of the University, presides at a Spread honoring the assembled dignitaries and guests, and leads the afternoon alumni procession.

Last August, your class officers were contacted and were asked to select a Class Nominating Committee. The Committee invited suggestions from the Class and screened candidates. The criteria they utilized were success in one's career (s), vocation (s) and/or avocation (s), contribution to one's community and the larger society, and service to the College. The following persons were recommended by the committee and approved by the Harvard Alumni Association. Each has consented to serve if elected (listed in randomly determined order):
