The university has announced the final 2025 candidate slates, listed in ballot order, for the Board of Overseers and the Harvard Alumni Association’s Elected Directors. A previously announced candidate for the Board of Overseers, Valerie Montgomery Rice, M.D. ’87, withdrew her candidacy. The five new board vacancies will be filled by the top-five vote-earners. The candidate who receives the sixth-highest number of votes will join the board for the remainder of the term vacated by Mark Carney ’87 (until 2027). Balloting is open from April 1 through May 20 at 5:00 p.m. Degree holders other than officers of instruction and government may vote for Overseer candidates; all degree holders can vote on the HAA Elected-Director candidates.

For information on the Overseer candidates’ views on the University’s opportunities and challenges, see Harvard Magazine’s online post with their answers to a set of questions at harvardmag.com/candidates-priorities-25.
