A Message About Coronavirus and Alumni Events
The health, safety, and well-being of the Harvard Business School community is our top priority. We are operating under the advice of Harvard University and Harvard University Health Services, which are continuously monitoring information from local health officials, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), and we are adapting our plans accordingly. We have cancelled all HBS-sponsored alumni off-campus events for now. For alumni on-campus events through the Spring, we are looking at options to include postponing, moving to virtual, or cancelling.
Given the current coronavirus crisis, HBS will not hold on campus One-Year and Spring 2020 Reunions this spring. For information on plans for virtual gatherings, please see Reunions. We will continue to assess Fall 2020 Reunions over the next few months to determine their feasibility; should they too need to be postponed, we will do our best to provide as much advance notice as possible.
If you have any questions regarding alumni events, please contact alumni@hbs.edu or call 1.617.495.6890
To see regular updates from HBS and Harvard University, please visit the HBS Coronavirus site.
