Greetings!
October is here, and we are thrilled to welcome many of you back to campus for the Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC) on Wednesday, October 22, and Thursday, October 23, at the new David Rubenstein Treehouse. ALC presents a valuable opportunity to hear updates from campus leaders and faculty, engage in volunteer training sessions, and connect with Club and SIG leadership from around the world. Comprehensive program information, including the schedule and attendee list, is available on the ALC website.
We would also like to thank those who participated in the New Leaders Orientation (NLO) earlier this month. Whether you are a new volunteer or a returning officer, it was a pleasure to see so many of you at the virtual sessions. Please visit Officers Lounge for the NLO slide deck and important resources from the session. We encourage you to share these materials with new and incoming board members for their reference.

Beware of Phishing: Cybersecurity Awareness Month
|
|
|

Harvard Clubs and SIGs can be targets of phishing and social engineering scams designed to trick you into opening malicious files, clicking suspicious links, forwarding questionable messages, or sharing sensitive information. To help keep your Club or SIG safe, Harvard’s Information Security and Data Privacy department provides practical tips and resources on identifying and avoiding these threats. Stay informed and protect your community from cyber risks.
