Editor’s Note: Tessa Steinert Evoy is graduating today, May 28th, 2020, with a Master of Theological Studies. The Office of Admissions is grateful to Tessa for all her hard work over these past two years serving as an Admissions Graduate Assistant, and we wish Tessa the best of luck on her post-HDS adventures! 

Post by Tessa Steinert Evoy, MTS ‘20 and Admissions Graduate Assistant   

I certainly would not have expected to be ending my MTS degree this way; however, these past few months have only made me appreciate the people of HDS who I have spent the last two years getting to know more. It all began in a classroom that slowly cooled as the sun dipped behind the clouds on a June night in the French course for Summer Language Program. Our classroom was often filled with laughter and the sound of rustling wrappers as we passed around packages of cookies. For me, transitioning from teaching eighth and ninth graders, SLP was a perfect bridge to the full HDS experience, a bit like dipping your toe into the HDS pond. On those sweltering days of orientation I saw the familiar faces of my SLP summer nights as we met the other students we would get to spend the next two years learning from. It is these people that I miss the most during our virtual learning.

Commencement 2015

Community, Crow's feet, Graduation, Harvard

Commencement Day at Harvard–a 364-year-old heritage–is so steeped in meaningful traditions and quirks that there is no other ceremony in the world quite like it. From each graduate school’s sunrise breakfast to the academic parade through Harvard Yard, Commencement is an all-day celebration of the years of hard work Harvard students put in to earn their degree.

Yesterday, our graduating students donned their crow’s feet and celebrated alongside their friends and families as they received, at long last, their VNIVERSITAS HARVARDIANA diplomas.

As we celebrate the Harvard Divinity School class of 2015, we look forward to the upcoming classes that will wear these robes, walk these halls, and become part of a nearly 400-year-old tradition whose legacy will become part of their own.
