In his address, President Gaber recalled his own arrival at Harvard as a freshman in 1973, drawing on personal experience to connect with the incoming class. He began by highlighting Harvard's nearly limitless opportunities for students to explore any academic field or pursuit, while emphasizing that freshmen must not overlook their most valuable and enduring resource—one another. He stressed that as they arrive at Harvard, freshmen must not only learn but also impart knowledge, sharing their experiences and perspectives to collectively build a community that embraces everyone, values all ideas, and respects all beliefs.
In Gaber's view, the Class of 2029 shares two defining traits: they are all students, and they all possess the capacity to make interesting and unconventional choices. This openness and creativity stem from their rejection of “either/or” binary thinking, embodying the “both/and” mindset Harvard has long cultivated and championed. Facing the excitement and anxiety of a new semester, he advised freshmen not to rush for comfort in familiar things, but to embrace discomfort, proactively engage with unfamiliar people and experiences, and view difficulties and challenges as opportunities for self-improvement and excellence.
He acknowledged the arduous journey many freshmen had undertaken, recognizing that some had worried about gaining admission to Harvard and integrating into this community. He emphasized that Harvard would cease to be truly Harvard if it failed to bring together curious and ambitious students from around the world—a statement met with thunderous applause.
Concluding his address, President Gaber noted that the commencement ceremony commemorates not only the freshmen's beginning at Harvard but also their sense of belonging on this campus.
