If you seek fellow alumni who share your interests, remember that the Harvard Alumni Association has approved more than 20 Shared Interest Groups; a full list appears at http://post.harvard.edu/harvard/clubs/html/SIGdir.shtml. Harvard Magazine invites SIG officers to share news of their groups’ activities in this space. (Send items to classnotes@harvard.edu, using SIG and the group’s name in the “class year” line.)
With Commencement on the horizon, many SIGS are planning special gatherings in Cambridge. A summary list, as known at press time, appears below; check specific SIG websites for more detailed information and updates.
