Welcome to Your City

Welcome to Your City (WTYC) is your chance to connect with fellow Harvard alumni in your area each fall. If you graduated within the last 10 years, join us for a laid-back evening of conversation, networking, and community—whether in person or online. Hosted by local Harvard Clubs and supported by Shared Interest Groups and College Activities Chairs, these casual gatherings are the perfect way to meet new people, catch up with friends, and plug into your local alumni scene. Don’t miss out on building your network and having some fun at WTYC!

Participation 

• Clubs with more than 2,000 alumni in the Club's region are invited to register to host an event. This minimum helps
  to ensure there is a critical mass of recent graduates in the local area. 

  • If you would like to participate but your club falls below this minimum, please reach out to clubs@harvard.edu. 

• SIGs interested in partnering with Clubs on these locally organized events can register their participation using
  this form.
