CONNECT WITH HARVARD CLUBS ABROAD

The Harvard Alumni Association (HAA), with offices on the 6th floor of 124 Mt. Auburn Street in Cambridge, is the official association of all alumni of Harvard University. The purpose of the HAA is to promote the welfare of Harvard University and to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between Harvard University and its alumni. Its regular members include recipients of all degrees granted by Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, as well as the members of all University Faculties.

The HAA helps alumni connect with the University and with fellow graduates through a wealth of Club activities, continuing education programs, online services, and alumni events domestic and internationally. Currently, the HAA supports over 190 Harvard Clubs in more than 75 countries throughout the world. Most Harvard Clubs are ‘virtual Clubs’ that meet in different locations to bring together alumni residing in the same geographical region and provide opportunities for them to remain connected to Harvard and to each other. Each offers its own variety of programs, services, and opportunities to its members and to its communities. The Clubs are run by volunteers; therefore the level of activity varies per Club.

During your international experience you can email the Harvard Club in your destination asking them to please include you in their mailings. In this way you can be aware of and possibly join Club activities during your stay abroad. This will give you the opportunity to meet with Harvard alumni and experience the local culture through your interaction with them.

Visit the Harvard Club Directory to find a Harvard Club at your destination.
