About the Club |
ABOUT THE CLUB Our club was organized June 7, 1929. We don't know how many members made up the club in those days but it is likely there were fewer than 50. In fact in the 1980s, some 50 years later, there were fewer than 100. We have grown greatly in the past twenty years with membership of three hundred or more for most of the 1990s. The Harvard Club of the Research Triangle is privileged to be one of the largest Harvard alumni clubs in the world. We have consistently ranked among the top ten Harvard clubs thanks to a dedicated Board of Directors, an active Programs Committee, and the enthusiastic participation of alumni and friends of Harvard University. The Club serves two primary purposes - sponsoring innovative local activities for members and providing programs that support current and potential Harvard students. The Club makes a special effort to sponsor events designed to serve the diverse interests of central North Carolina alumni. Members of our Club receive reservation priority and pricing discounts for most programs. The student-focused activities help Harvard College attract outstanding high school students from our area and provide a connection between current Harvard students and our local Club. We need input from all Club members to insure we are providing programs that meet the interests and needs of the alumni community. If you have ideas for future events, questions about the Club’s goals and programs, or would like to volunteer your services for Club activities, please contact any of the listed Directors. If you are a Harvard alumnus, we invite you to join the club and reconnect with your Harvard experience. |
