Calling all San Diego-based Harvard alumni!
On Wednesday, September 27, alumni around the world will come together to welcome members of the Class of 2023 to their new cities! Harvard alumni who graduated between 2013 and 2023, from the College or any of the graduate schools, are invited to participate.
Whether you are new to the area or have called it home for years, the Harvard community is your community—so we hope you will join us on September 27! Register with your LinkedIn profile or other social media accounts to see who's coming and connect with others before, during, and after the event. The club will provide pizza for the event and guests can purchase drinks from the Brewery.
