International Student Clubs

Harvard College and most of the graduate schools have student clubs that bring students together to share topics of mutual interest. These clubs often serve as an important adjunct to course work by sponsoring social events and lectures. There are approximately 60 international student clubs. The HIO has a flyer listing international student clubs. The student affairs office of each Harvard school should be able to provide more detailed information about the student clubs in that school.
