Harvard Humanist Alumni

We offer a community of Harvard affiliates who try to live fulfilling and productive lives without superstition or religion. Our reunion reception is Saturday, May 26, from 3 to 5 p.m., in the chaplaincy space at 12 Eliot Street (third floor). All reunion classes through the twenty-fifth should still be in Cambridge, so we hope for a lively group. Let us know if your reunion ends on Thursday, May 24. If there is interest, we will also plan a small get-together after the official Commencement festivities that afternoon. We are also looking into a reception to welcome graduating seniors to the HAA family, to be held during Senior Week because most seniors will have left by May 26. Find details at https://harvardhumanistalumni.org.
