The SIGnboard

Celebrate with Shared Interest Groups during Commencement

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 https://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. And visit this magazine’s Web edition, at www.harvardmagazine.com/commencement, to find our Commencement and Reunion Guide, containing additional details on the events of the week.
