With Commencement just weeks away, Harvard College seniors stand at a major crossroad in their lives. Many will enter a competitive job market or continue their education in graduate school, or perhaps, even seek respite before forging ahead on their life journey.

No doubt, members of the class of 2018 are now focused on the direction their lives will take after graduation. But as their days as an undergrad draw to a close, they are also reflecting back on their experience at Harvard College.

Morning Prayers is one of Harvard’s most cherished and long-standing traditions. Each year, for the past five years, the Memorial Church has invited a senior from each house to share their insight, their wisdom, and their reflections about how the Harvard experience shaped their lives. Below is a collection of this year’s talks.
