The 2026 Class Committee is the governance of the Harvard College Class of 2026, and is supported by the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) and the Harvard College Fund (HCF). The priority of this committee is to bring the class together as a whole by modeling and facilitating communication, participation, volunteerism, and philanthropy among classmates. The committee is comprised of the First and Second Marshals, Program Marshals, Harvard College Fund Marshals, Class Secretary, Class Treasurer, Media Team members, and House Representatives. The Class Committee is formed in the senior year and continues in alumni life. Note that House Team members will be recruited in the spring semester, and this is a senior year-only role.
Members of the College Class of 2026 who will be enrolled in both the fall 2025 and spring 2026 semesters, and who will participate in the May 2026 Commencement as their one Commencement, and who will continue to affiliate with the Class of 2026 as alums are eligible to apply for these positions. Individual role descriptions and important dates are below. You can also learn more about the Class Committee on this document.
Through this program, Harvard College Fund Marshals have the opportunity to work in the field of Advancement as students, making valuable connections with key institutional leaders, donors and alumni, and receiving hands-on learning opportunities that are valuable resume-builders.
