Every year, we celebrate the remarkable contributions of our Clubs and Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) and their dedicated volunteer leaders through our annual awards.

The Outstanding Alumni Community Award is a prestigious recognition given to a Harvard Club or Shared Interest Group that has demonstrated exceptional efforts in creating outstanding, innovative, or improved programs. This could be in various areas such as membership growth, technology advancements, succession planning, community service initiatives, outreach programs, schools and scholarship efforts, event programming, or overall general improvement.

The Outstanding Volunteer Leadership Award is another esteemed accolade that acknowledges a volunteer from a Harvard Club or Shared Interest Group who has gone beyond their regular responsibilities to make a significant contribution to their respective Club or Shared Interest Group.

The 2024-2025 awards will be presented at the 2025 Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC) on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. Submissions for the 2025-2026 awards cycle will open in November 2025 and will be accepted through Friday, June 12, 2026. While we will consider nominations from the past few years in the upcoming awards cycle, we encourage you to resubmit a nomination if you strongly believe in a candidate.
