From your first day as a Harvard student you’ve been a part of an alumni community spanning the globe. With a network of more than 400,000 alumni, your Harvard family will always have your back. As you prepare to graduate and look toward your path ahead, we’re here to support you at any stage in your journey.
The Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) is the official organization for Harvard alumni and students from across the University. We connect you and fellow students and graduates with a wealth of networking opportunities, resources, mentorship, and so much more. Don’t wait until after graduation to tap into the programs and tools here at the HAA. You already have a lifelong membership, so take advantage and start building your Harvard network today.
You might be asking yourself, “Where do I start?” Take a look at our short video introduction to the HAA and the many ways to connect with your Harvard family. Then, browse through the lists below for more ways to get involved.
