For the first time, the president of the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) is a woman MBA from Harvard Business School. Teresita Alvarez-Bjelland (AB ’76, MBA ’79), who took office last summer, will focus her one-year term on Harvard’s role in global public service. She has been a member of the HAA board since 1995.

Alvarez-Bjelland emigrated with her family from Cuba to Miami in 1962 and has lived for the past 25 years in Norway, home to her husband, Christian Bjelland (MBA ’78). She has worked in marketing and advertising and currently is a consultant.
