Gomes Honors
Each year, the Alumni/Alumnae Council recognizes graduates whose excellence in life, work, and service pays homage to the mission and values of the Harvard Divinity School. The award honors the late Reverend Peter J. Gomes, STB ’68, who served HDS for four decades as a distinguished faculty member and the Pusey Minister of Memorial Church.
