The Harvard Alumni Association maintains and enhances a highly engaged, vibrant community of alumni and friends worldwide. 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. This is your community, today and after you graduate, and your unique experiences and perspectives bring it to life. After you complete one semester at Harvard, you're a lifetime member!
The College Alumni Programs office of the HAA serves more than 100,000 Harvard and Radcliffe College alumni and undergraduates. It oversees and develops programming to preserve and maintain Harvard traditions and to create new opportunities to connect members of the Harvard community with one another and the University.
We hope you take advantage of these opportunities to engage with your alumni community during your time at Harvard and after you graduate.
