• Providing opportunities for alumni, parents of students, and friends of Harvard University to meet and to serve as advocates, articulating the role and direction of the University;
• Promoting and elevating the stature of the University within the community through club programming;
• Providing opportunities for alumni to remain connected to the University and to serve the University;
• Encouraging life-long learning, intellectual enrichment, professional growth, and social interaction through forums of continuing education and development; and
• Attracting the world’s most talented individuals to Harvard University.
