German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be the principal speaker at the Afternoon Program of Harvard’s 368th Commencement on May 30, 2019.⠀
⠀
“Angela Merkel is one of the most widely admired and broadly influential statespeople of our time,” said President Larry Bacow. “Over her four terms as Germany’s chancellor, her leadership has done much to shape the course not only of her nation, but also of Europe and the larger world.” ⠀
⠀
Merkel’s many honors include the Charlemagne Prize for “work done in the service of European unification,” and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded to her by President Obama in 2011. She was Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 2015 and has repeatedly topped the Forbes magazine list of the world’s most powerful women. ⠀
