Clubs & SIGs Spotlight

Members of the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Vermont

Thank you to those that participated in Welcome to Your City (WTYC) 2024! This year, 47 Clubs and 15 SIG partners hosted in-person networking events for recent graduates (2015–2024), with over 3,000 participants registered. The Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Vermont gathered in Burlington, VT for their WTYC event, pictured above.

On September 16, the HAA held A Conversation with Alan Garber in Los Angeles. Along with the HAA, this invigorating event was cosponsored by the Harvard Club of Southern California, Alumnae-i Network for Harvard Women, Harvard Asian American Alumni Alliance, Harvard Black Alumni Society, Harvard Latino Alumni Alliance, and Harvardwood.

A Conversation with Alan Garber in Seattle

President Garber continued his West Coast tour with a second HAA event on September 19 in Seattle, co-sponsored by the Harvard Club of Seattle. Like the Los Angeles gathering, this event brought together local alumni for an engaging night of connection and insights from Alan.
