Graduation is a day of ceremony and celebration at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School. Students are granted the MD and any other advanced degrees they have earned, they are hooded and they receive their diplomas.
Graduation traditionally consists of two parts: the Commencement Ceremony and Class Day.
