Crimson Kickoff
Starting the day with an exciting pep rally, the first-year students were sorted into teams based on their residential neighborhoods. Full of school spirit, they then took to the Athletics facilities for a fun day of friendly competition and bonding.

Convocation
As a beloved Harvard tradition, Convocation ceremoniously inducts the incoming class and marks the beginning of each student's Harvard journey. "By choosing to come to Harvard, you will be the future leaders," the new Danoff Dean of Harvard College, David Deming, addressed the class.
"I believe that you will be a class of creators, builders, and dreamers. Be fearless, and embrace the future."
