Hello, fellow Harvardians!
With Harvard facing unprecedented challenges around academic freedom, immigration policy, and political pressures,
our local community needs connection and thoughtful dialogue more than ever.
This year’s Annual Meeting is the perfect moment:
an in-person gathering with fellow alumni for timely, meaningful conversation about our alma mater's future.
Join us for an elegant waterfront dinner featuring great views of the Casco Bay islands,
to strengthen our Crimson bonds during these turbulent times.
Please Buy Tickets now and see you on the 25th!
Annual Meeting, Dinner, and Presentation 2025
The Harvard Club in Maine warmly invites you and your family & friends to
a convivial evening of conversation, fine dining, our brief Annual Meeting, and a presentation by
Dr. Caroline Light, Director of Undergraduate Studies in Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard, on
Historical Perspectives on Immigration and Naturalization.
What’s Love got to do with it? Immigration, Marriage, and the Ideal Citizenry
How did federal immigration and naturalization policies and state-based marriage prohibitions converge in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and what were the intended goals of these policies? Dr. Light maps the sociolegal landscape of anti-miscegenation laws and immigration regulations, revealing some of the ways people resisted these entangled structures to forge a pathway to American belonging.
