Harvard Club of Ireland

As President, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Harvard Club of Ireland. The Club is a wonderful community and an excellent way to stay engaged with and connected to your Harvard experience beyond your time on campus. This Club is yours and we hope that you will take the opportunity to get involved in our activities, regardless of whether you are a long-time resident or recent arrival to Ireland, a travelling alum or student or researcher abroad, or a recent graduate.  

 

As we are a smaller club, there is no official joining process, nor are there annual dues, so all you need to do to get involved is join the mailing list. Your views are important to us and we are always looking for suggestions of ways in which the Club can be of greater value to its members. If you would like to become more involved in Club activities, read on below for more details. 

 

We want to hear from you, so please come to an event, get involved in our community, and don’t hesitate to contact us! I hope to see you at a future event. 

On behalf of the Club, a warm welcome to the Harvard community in Ireland!

Volunteering for the Club: If you have an idea for any kind of Club event or activity and can help to organise it, please do reach out as we would love to hear from you. Keep in mind that we don’t charge membership dues and usually do not charge for events, so any connections to sponsored event spaces are especially welcome.   

 

Harvard Interviewing: I highly recommend volunteering as a Harvard College Interviewer. Sharing your Harvard experience with a prospective student is an excellent way to give back to your alma mater. It is a very rewarding experience, and gives you the unique opportunity to meet extraordinary students from across the country and share your Harvard experience. 

 

- Harvard University degree holder with good listening and writing skills

- Willing to dedicate time to 1-3 interviews per Academic Year (cycle usually runs November-March)

- Willing to write a thoughtful and considered report within 1-2 weeks of each interview

If you fit the eligibility criteria above, get in touch with us about becoming an Alumni Interviewer.
