Harvard College Alumni
Students
Welcome to the Harvard Alumni Association!
The Harvard Alumni Association (HAA), Harvard’s official University-wide alumni association, is a dues-free organization composed of all University students (yes, you!) and graduates. The HAA maintains and enhances a highly engaged, vibrant community of alumni and friends worldwide. Our purpose is to promote the welfare of Harvard University and establish a mutually beneficial relationship between Harvard University and its alumni. This is your community, and your unique experiences and perspectives bring it to life. After you complete one semester at Harvard, you're a lifetime member!
Learn more about the HAA
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.
Alumni volunteers have been a part of your Harvard experience from the beginning, whether that's been serving as admissions interviewers or marshaling and giving you your class pin at Convocation. We hope you take advantage of these additional opportunities to engage with alumni during your time at Harvard:
