Come celebrate the launch of two local SIG chapters: First-Generation Harvard Alumni and Harvard Alumni for Education. If you’re a first-generation college graduate, if you work in the field of education, or if you’re just interested in meeting folks from either group, come join us for a celebratory evening of drinks, appetizers, and conversation. All are welcome!
Cost: $5 per person, to help cover the cost of appetizers. Alumni can purchase their own drinks and additional food. In order to provide the restaurant with a proper headcount, registration will close on Monday, September 10, 2018.

About the First-Generation Harvard Alumni
"First Generation" is a group of Harvard alumni who are the first members of their families to attend college and who seek to support current first-generation students. Our mission is to make Harvard a better place for current first-generation students and help them to navigate Harvard successfully. We achieve this goal through mentoring, advocacy and providing networking opportunities. Thanks to the generosity of the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, first-generation students make up a substantial portion (up to 18%) of today’s undergraduate student body.
