Midshipman Officers Classes

Thursday, June 3 – Sunday, June 6, 2010

Harvard Business School is pleased to invite its alumni from the Midshipman Officers Classes (MOC) to what will be for many a 65th Reunion! Members of the MBA Classes of 1947 are also included in this reunion, in appreciation for their gracious invitation to MOC three years ago to attend their 60th. We hope for a good turnout from both groups!

The Reunion Committee is working on a complete program that will include the good ole entertainment you've come to expect: great faculty presentations, dinner and the Boston Pops on Friday night, and the traditional
New England Clambake on Saturday night.
