Events Calendar
It was wonderful to meet many of you this past year and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
We host at least monthly events—from casual meetups to larger programs—now with greater variety in both format and location.
We hope that you have the time and interest to join us for more of them.
If there is an activity you would like to do with fellow alumni that is not on our calendar, we are eager to hear your suggestions.
You are always to take the lead in organizing events, including those listed below.
Our community is thriving with almost 200 paid members and over 2,700 on our email list.
Many more of you are supporting us in our activities now—thank you!
We are one of the most active medium-sized Harvard alumni clubs.
Links to every event invitation, photos and social posts are given below.
