The Harvard Magazine 36

Inaugural Year | Spring 2027

Introducing the first-ever Harvard Magazine 36, a list that celebrates the positive impact Harvard alumni are making around the nation and the world—across fields, disciplines, locations, and stages of life. Their work might be happening on a large or small scale; their stories might be known, or might deserve a wider audience. Harvard loves its Latin, and we love the idea of capturing people in medias res: in the thick of the action.

Why 36? We chose 36 as a nod to 1636, the year of Harvard’s founding. We’re offering a snapshot of the contributions Harvard graduates are making, with the hope that in future years, we’ll bring you more.
