Actress Jennifer Garner was honored as the Hasty Pudding’s Woman of the Year on Saturday. The annual celebration returned to its traditional in-person format after being held virtually in 2021 due to Covid-19.

The ceremony began with a parade through Harvard Square, and was followed by a roast and press conference in Farkas Hall.
