In response to alumni interest, this past September the Harvard Alumni Association launched a series of in-person and virtual programs featuring Harvard leadership and faculty speakers in conversation about the current academic landscape of the University. This series will continue throughout the 2024–2025 academic year with a variety of programming. 

We hope you will join us in-person or virtually for one of these upcoming programs! We will continue to update you and this website as new opportunities arise.
