HAA Shared Interest Group 2016 Reunion Events

Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) connect thousands of alumni with shared interests, including particular student activities, identity groups, specific professions and cultural pursuits. In addition to a variety of local programming throughout the year, many of the over 50 HAA approved SIGs host events during Commencement week. It's an excellent opportunity to bring together returning, reunioning, and local alumni.

For more information about HAA SIGs and to see a full listing of the organizations, please visit the HAA Clubs and SIGs webpage.
