On Radcliffe Day, alumnae/i, fellows, and friends gather with the greater Harvard University community to honor Radcliffe’s past and celebrate its future.

Traditionally held on the day after Harvard’s commencement, Radcliffe Day culminates in the Annual Luncheon, which includes the presentation of the Radcliffe Institute Medal to an individual who has made a significant impact on society.
