HDS - Alumni/ae Relations

Alumni/ae Relations

HDS Alumni/ae: Please take a moment to update your contact information via post.harvard or by sending an email message to alums@hds.harvard.edu.

Harvard Divinity School is proud to have a family of more than 5,000 living alumni/ae around the globe, whose careers span from ministry to medicine, academia to business, government to the arts, nonprofit organizations, and beyond.

All HDS graduates are members of the Harvard Divinity School Alumni/ae Association, which provides a network for keeping alumni/ae connected with each other and with the School. Their involvement provides guidance and counsel to the institution, and helps to enrich the experiences of current students. From the Alumni/ae Council to mentoring, to event planning and participation, there are a number of ways alumni/ae can engage with Harvard Divinity School.

Opportunities and benefits include:

Publications
All HDS alumni/ae receive free subscriptions to the School's two flagship publications. Harvard Divinity Bulletin is the School's magazine focusing on contemporary issues in the study of religion and theology; shorter, opinion columns; book and arts reviews; and poetry, and is published four times per year. Harvard Divinity Today, a newsmagazine introduced in 2005, is published three times a year and features news and notes about alumni/ae and the School's faculty, students, and staff.

HDS alumni/ae are encouraged to submit content to be considered for publication in the Harvard Divinity Bulletin and Harvard Divinity Today. Submit story ideas to alums@hds.harvard.edu.

Event Planning and Participation
Harvard Divinity School alumni/ae are invited to alumni/ae events on campus and across the country, including the annual Alumni/ae Dinner and Alumni/ae Day, held each June in conjunction with HDS Commencement. Alumni/ae are also welcome at all public HDS events, and can attend events sponsored by the Harvard Alumni Association.

Alumni/ae can also be an important part of making events possible. Submit program suggestions, including offers to host or coordinate events, to alums@hds.harvard.edu.

Career Services
Harvard Divinity School's Office of Career Services provides resources for alumni/ae, including vocational counseling, an annual career and networking fair, access to forums and workshops, networking assistance, résumé/CV review, dossier service, access to job listings, a resource library, a host of online resources, mentoring opportunities, and opportunities to post job and internship announcements from employees.

Additionally, HDS alumni/ae may access Harvard University's alumni/ae career services database, Crimson Compass. This network provides a means for Harvard graduates to contact fellow graduates in their professional field or industry for the purpose of career advisement. You will need to create an account with post.harvard to access this service.

Continuing Education Online
HDS alumni/ae can access hours of online content, including streaming media, from a variety of sources at Harvard. Harvard Divinity School hosts online video of select events, and Harvard University maintains an extensive library of online material on harvard@home.
