They might try to keep us off campus, but we're showing up anyway! Our Boston area-based Co-chair Meghan Haggerty ventures to Harvard Square, and tries to sweet talk her way into videoing evidence that the Houses still exist in 2021. Will she succeed? Are those House Renovations real or myth? Tune in to find out!
Officially kick off this reunion! Don't worry, this won't just be the Class of 2006 imbibing in front of our computers, pretending we were in Loker Commons turned Queenshead Pub. Come join our Zoom Pub Night with activities including a Harvard Bartending Mixology Course (non-alcoholic versions taught as well) and a Sip and Paint (pre-registration required for paint supplies to be delivered to you, or prepare your own)!

Business: Hosted by Teddy Chestnut. Whether you’re building a seed-stage startup or navigating your way through the F500, the last year has been... crazy. Come swap stories, experiences, and reflections on thriving (or at least surviving) in the new normal. As always, see you on Zoom...
