Welcome Message

Dear Harvard-Radcliffe Alum, It's my pleasure to welcome you to the 2011-2012 academic year, and to a great new set of events for the Harvard-Radcliffe Club. Please JOIN OR RENEW now, to take advantage of all our Club provides, including . . .

  • Access to diverse and exclusive programs.  Last year, our Club held 32 events—social gatherings, business networking, sports games, intellectual discussions—you name it, we’re doing it!  As a member, you’ll benefit from reduced pricing all year long, beginning with a $20 discount for our Fall Opener: a private tour of the Masonic Temple of Philadelphia, with keynote speaker Bruce Cole of the American Revolutionary Center.
  • 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

The Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Philadelphia enthusiastically welcomes alumni from all Harvard schools.  We are also pleased to extend membership and membership benefits to Partners of alumni, as well as Parents of current students.  This year, we have introduced a “Sustaining Member” category for those who would like to provide further support for the Club’s programming budget.  Sustaining Members will also receive recognition on our website.

Dues are our main source of funding for all the events we hold and allow us to keep the costs of our events very low.  Please JOIN NOW, either online or by downloading a form here. 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,
Jenna B. McNeill ‘95
President, Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Philadelphia
