Harvard Arab Alumni Association

The annual Harvard Arab Weekend (HAW) takes place November 18-21; the theme is "The Arab World: Leading for Tomorrow," with special emphasis on inspiring the next generation of leaders to lead the Arab world toward a brighter future. HAW is one of the most significant efforts to bring the best and brightest of the Arab world to Harvard and open channels of dialogue among leaders in technology, healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, business, government, and academia. President Drew Faust will deliver Harvard's welcome; Queen Noor of Jordan is the keynote speaker. Other speakers include a psychologist-turned-social entrepreneur, a self-made, world-renowned fashion designer, a prominent international journalist, a business tycoon, and many others who, independently and collectively, are making a difference in the Arab world. The weekend is organized by the HAAA and other Arab, Middle Eastern, and North African groups at Harvard. For details, visit www.harvardarabweekend.org.
