Dear Harvard and Radcliffe Alumni,

Welcome to the 2012-2013 academic year!  The Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Philadelphia is pleased to provide the Harvard community with a forum for connecting alumni with one another.  We welcome alumni from all Harvard programs to join us for many of the varied and interesting programs and events we sponsor.

Please JOIN OR RENEW now, to take advantage of all the Club offers.

  • Access to diverse and exclusive programs.  Each year the club hosts wonderful events including social gatherings, business networking, sports games, and intellectual discussions, among others.  As a member, you’ll benefit from reduced pricing all year long.
  • An instant social community and outlet for your energy and ideas.  Joining our very active Program Committee is a great way to meet others who are interested in creating opportunities to explore Philadelphia alongside fellow Harvard alumni.
  • The chance to assist a prospective student in the application process and help Harvard select its incoming class.  Our Schools Committee, made up entirely of alumni volunteers, facilitated more than 500 interviews of prospective Harvard students last year.  Interviews are a critical component of the applications process, and an excellent way for alumni to stay connected.
  • The opportunity to help local students finance their Harvard education.  Our Club distributes approximately $60,000 each year in financial aid to local admits.  Your contribution to our scholarship fund directly supports students from the greater Philadelphia area.

We are also pleased to extend membership and membership benefits to partners of alumni, as well as parents of current students.  A special thank you to our “Sustaining Members”!  Dues are our main source of funding for all the events we hold and allow us to keep the costs of events reasonable, so your sustainable support is greatly appreciated.
 
Join or renew on-line by clicking here or by downloading the membership form here.  Please indicate your interest in supporting any of the above efforts.   I invite you to take advantage of all that the Harvard-Radcliffe community in Philadelphia has to offer and hope to see you at upcoming events.

Sincerely,

Maureen F. Austin, AB’83, MBA’92
President, Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Philadelphia
