Office of the University Marshal

2016-2017 Report Introduction The Office of the University Marshal reports to the President of Harvard and supports the University’s goal of sustaining and enhancing the University’s international ties by serving as the point of contact to:

- Provide coordination and support for members of the University community who wish to invite heads of state, high-level officials, or dignitaries to Harvard;

- Arrange appointments with faculty and/or administrators for internationals to learn about academic programs and/or administrative operations;

- Identify members of the University community, typically faculty or alumni, to serve as delegates representing Harvard at other institutions’ ceremonial functions;

- Advise on matters of protocol and serving as a resource for information about Harvard history, tradition, and ceremony.

The Marshal’s Office is also charged with overseeing the Morning Exercises of Commencement, as well as organizing other large-scale, University-wide events including presidential inaugurations, anniversary celebrations, and special convocations. The following is a summary of our office’s activities for the academic year ending June 30, 2017.

Distinguished Visitors

The University Marshal with the Vice President of Nigeria in Wadsworth House

In the 2016-2017 academic year, an array of distinguished visitors and delegations came to Harvard University, including heads of state and senior officials from Mauritius, Namibia, Oman, Rwanda, Sweden, Tanzania, Timur-Leste, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom. A complete list of recent visitors appears in Appendix B. Harvard regularly hosts visitors of many different nationalities, backgrounds, and beliefs; and, in doing so, encourages intellectual and educational enrichment while also honoring the principles of free speech and open inquiry. With the help of faculty advisors from various departments and centers, we have developed a set of guidelines on how best to initiate, plan, and manage high-level visits. These guidelines can be found in Appendix A. The Marshal’s Office is available to help faculty, students, and staff interpret the guidelines and assist in making visits meaningful for all parties.

The International Visitors Program Harvard University is an open campus that welcomes thousands from around the world every year. The Marshal’s Office in particular hosts international individuals and delegations seeking substantive dialogue with members of the Harvard community on shared areas of interest. These individuals include, but are not limited to, government officials, university leaders, and professionals in various fields who participate in fellowships or special programs sponsored by official entities, such as local consulates or the U.S. State Department. In the 2016-2017 academic year, the Marshal’s Office hosted or arranged for 129 total visits from 52 countries. Fourteen delegations were comprised of visitors from multiple countries. The largest percentage of visitors were from Asia and Africa, with many other visitors from the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe. Educators, researchers, journalists, business leaders, medical professionals, and government officials are among those whom we have hosted this year. Popular discussion topics included changing norms in journalism and politics in the social media age, women in business and political leadership, green buildings and sustainability, and government accountability and transparency. Visitors from foreign universities sought to learn about best practices in student engagement and inclusion, advances in teaching and learning, and regional studies programs at Harvard. Visiting academics also often hope to explore opportunities for

research collaboration and student exchange possibilities. As the University becomes more engaged with international issues, as faculty continue to expand their research interests to address global concerns, and as students’ interest in studying abroad increases, we expect requests to visit and learn about Harvard to continue to increase. Recent visitors are listed in Appendix B.

The Delegate Program President Drew Faust receives many invitations to attend inaugurations and other special ceremonies from institutions of higher education around the globe. When she is unable to attend, our office works to identify a suitable substitute to represent the University. Often, faculty who have a meaningful affiliation with the inviting institution, or a local alumnus/a, will be asked to represent Harvard. Delegates participate in various activities, including the traditional academic procession, and also deliver written congratulatory greetings on behalf of the University.

East Carolina University

In the period between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, Harvard was invited to participate in 35 presidential inaugurations and anniversary celebrations. Harvard was represented at 21 events in the U.S. and abroad. In the few cases when we were not able to identify an appropriate representative, our office arranged to send a letter of congratulations to the celebrating institution. Feedback is consistently positive, and delegates often report how honored they were to be asked to represent the University. Since the institutions participating in the academic procession are typically arranged by date of founding, the Harvard delegate often leads the procession. A complete list of delegates and events they attended appears in Appendix C. Gifts The Marshal’s Office offers a wide selection of Harvard-themed gifts available at discounted prices to University affiliates who have access to Harvard’s internal billing system. Information about affordable gifts for those traveling abroad on official business, to welcome a distinguished visitor to our campus, or for conference participants, retirees, or employee recognition may be found at https://marshal.harvard.edu/buy-a-gift

Flag Protocol When a head of state or government visits the University to give a public speech or to meet with Harvard’s president, our office may arrange for the visitor’s national flag to fly alongside the United States flag at University Hall. Protocol dictates that the dimensions of the visitor’s national flag must be the same as those of the United States flag; in the case of University Hall, 10’ x 15’. Only heads of state from countries and governments recognized by the U.S. Department of State may have their national flag flown.

XVI Gustaf’s visit

When the United States flag is flown at half-staff on federal property—by presidential proclamation or as a sign of national tribute—Harvard has the option to follow suit by flying the United States flag at half-staff at University Hall. The University Marshal, in consultation with Harvard’s president, will make this decision, and will notify the deans of the various schools who may also choose to act similarly. Nothing prohibits the United States flag from flying at half-staff as a tribute for a loss closer to home, but this is rarely done.

Other Events & Campus Tours By special request the Marshal will occasionally host various groups for a special welcome to Harvard at Wadsworth House. This year these groups included new full-time faculty members, incoming Mason Fellows at the Harvard Kennedy School, the fall and spring visiting fellows at the Institute of Politics and the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, local high school students participating in the Summer Youth Employment Program.

Additionally, throughout the year, the Marshal’s Office works with Harvard College students in the Crimson Key Society to provide campus tours. The Crimson Key Society counts among its members eighty well-trained undergraduates who can customize tours by providing multilingual guides and translators, visits to specific buildings on campus, or tour information tailored to visitors’ interests and backgrounds.

Appendix A Guidelines for Harvard Invitations

to Heads of State, Heads of Government, and Other High-Level International

and American Officials

Harvard University is fortunate to be able to attract distinguished visitors of many different nationalities, backgrounds, and beliefs. The President and Deans of the Faculties with the assistance of the University Marshal encourage schools, departments, centers, and other units to invite a wide range of distinguished guests to Harvard to foster University-wide intellectual and educational enrichment while also honoring the principles of free speech and open inquiry. Consistent with this open policy and with the overall goals of the University, any Harvard unit that invites a distinguished visitor should act to enhance the academic value of the presence of such visitors. In doing so, the sponsoring unit should cooperate with other relevant units at the University. Distinguished visitors, especially heads of state or government, are expected to address a public audience on campus during some portion of their visit. Systematic coordination of visits is also essential in order to avoid significant conflicts - for example, multiple invitations to the same person from different schools or units of the University; the possible appearance of two major international leaders from the same part of the world on the same day; and invitations to individuals during Commencement week that might overshadow the Harvard Alumni Association's main Commencement Day speaker or honorary degree recipients. The University Marshal, in consultation with the President’s Office and selected faculty members, has established the following guidelines for all schools, departments, centers, and other organizations within the Harvard community: 1. All schools and other sponsoring units are requested to consult with the University Marshal and other relevant units of the University before extending invitations to high-level dignitaries and guests. The goal of inviting heads of state and others to visit Harvard is to promote intellectual and educational enrichment on a University-wide basis. Therefore, to be as inclusive as possible, it is important for sponsoring units to inform relevant groups or units within the University when an invitation is being considered. For example, if a school proposes to invite the president of a Latin American country, it makes sense to inform and consult with the Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies. If a center wants to invite the US Attorney General, the Law School should be informed. If sponsoring units are not sure whom to contact, the Marshal’s Office can assist. The University Marshal’s Office tracks outstanding invitations, and can make sure no prior invitations have been extended by another part of the University. Any outstanding invitations more than a year old may, depending upon the circumstances, be considered “cold,” thereby allowing another unit the opportunity to make a new invitation. 2. Harvard policy and the rules of protocol require that invitations to sitting heads of state and government be extended by a letter from the President of Harvard. A draft letter and explanatory cover note should be e-mailed or faxed to the Marshal’s Office. The cover note should include the following information: • Name of the Harvard unit sponsoring the visit and the contact person • Occasion or event to which the guest is being invited • Proposed date(s) for the visit • List of other relevant Harvard units that have been consulted • Reason that the invitation is likely to be accepted

• Proposed venue • Expected costs and funding sources Once that background information has been received, and the University Marshal has cleared the invitation, the draft of an official letter of invitation will then be sent to the President for approval and signature. Unless other arrangements are made (such as FedEx or fax), the letter will then be mailed via regular US mail and a copy sent to the Marshal as well as to the contact(s) in the sponsoring unit(s). 3. Invitations to other major international or American political leaders should also be coordinated with the Marshal's Office. While it is sometimes difficult to determine who is and who isn't a “major” political leader, the rule of reason should prevail. For example, when it seems likely that security protection will be required and a large audience will attend, the University Marshal should be consulted. These invitations, if approved, can often be signed by deans, center directors, and department chairs rather than the president. The University Marshal should still be informed before the invitation is sent, and schools and sponsoring units should still be consulted. This information will be used to prevent duplicate letters of invitation to the same major political leader, and will keep the University community informed of upcoming events. Copies of these letters should be sent to the University Marshal for the files. Please note: there are special considerations with regard to inviting to Harvard current and former Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United States, Secretaries General of the United Nations, and current Harvard Overseers. If a school or other unit is considering invitations to people in these categories, it should first contact the Marshal’s Office. 4. As a matter of protocol, a visit by a head of state, head of government, or cabinet-level dignitary must be coordinated for a time when the President or Provost, senior member of the faculty, or dean is available. Schools and other sponsoring units should contact the Marshal's Office in advance to arrange: (a) a possible appointment for the visitor with the President and/or Provost; (b) a time for the visitor to sign Harvard’s official register, the University guest book; and (c) an occasion for the visitor to receive an official gift from the University. 5. It is important for Harvard to provide the appropriate venue for major speakers. The President extends invitations to world leaders and other dignitaries on behalf of the entire University, not necessarily on behalf of one school or center or other sponsoring unit. Therefore, in order to promote the broadest accessibility to members of the Harvard community, the President reserves the right to determine the venue of the event in order to accommodate a larger audience. In most cases, venues for Harvard-sponsored guests will be limited to locations within the University. These guidelines were prepared in consultation with: Prof. John H. Coatsworth, Director of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies Prof. Timothy J. Colton, Director of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies Prof. Jorge I. Domínguez, Director of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs Ms. Catherine McLaughlin, Executive Director of the Institute of Politics
