Winter 2026 Events

Through networking events and mentorship opportunities, the winter break is an ideal time for alumni to connect with students, offering them guidance and advice as they prepare for the next steps in their academic and professional journeys, and reflect on goals for the future. Participate in the below options for Winter 2026:
 

• Senior Thesis Study Break Dinner: If you live in the Cambridge area and wrote a thesis as a senior, please join us at the Harvard Alumni Association on January 21, 2026 for the Seniors Thesis Study Break Dinner. Thesis-writing seniors who are on campus early before the spring semester begins will be invited. Help the students take some time to relax and share your own experience navigating the final months of writing a thesis in an informal, conversational setting. Learn more and register.
   

• Alumni Coffee Chats: Undergraduate students have been encouraged to reach out to alumni during the winter break through the HAA Alumni Directory and the Firsthand Advisors platform. This is a chance for them to practice using these tools and to become comfortable making connections with members of the alumni community as they seek advice and mentorship on a variety of topics. You may receive an email from a student as a result. In addition to email communications, students have been told to explore phone, Zoom, or local, in-person meetings where appropriate. See the section above for more about these two platforms and how you can be most helpful to students.
