To our fellow HKS 2007 graduates:
It’s hard to believe, but 2012 marks the fifth anniversary of our graduation from the Harvard Kennedy School. While the time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, a lot has happened in five years – both personally and professionally, and in the world at large -- too much to capture on Facebook, in emails, or via newsletters. Luckily, in May we have the opportunity to come together again to catch up with each other, reunite with favorite professors, explore favorite haunts in Cambridge, and celebrate our time together at the Kennedy School.
Please join your colleagues from the Class of 2007 for the 2012 Reunion from Friday, May 11 to Sunday, May 13 for an action-packed agenda that will include:
Friday, May 11
8:00 am – 4:30 pm 75th Anniversary Dean’s conference, a daylong event celebrating 75 years of Kennedy School contributions to public policy and public service, with opening remarks by Drew Gilpin Faust, President of Harvard University and Lincoln Professor of History.
