Harvard Divinity School Alumni/ae Association

All HDS graduates are members of the Harvard Divinity School Alumni/ae Association, which serves as a network for keeping alumni connected with each other and with the School. The Alumni/ae Council is the board of the Association, and their involvement, as well as that of alumni in shared interest groups and regional chapters, helps to enrich the experiences of alumni and current students. From the Alumni/ae Council to recruiting, to event planning and participation, alumni can keep connected with Harvard Divinity School.

Publications

All HDS alumni 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; opinion columns; book and arts reviews; and poetry, and is published quarterly. Harvard Divinity Today, an alumni news magazine, is published three times each year and features news and notes about alumni and the School's faculty, students, and staff. Harvard Magazine, an alumni news magazine for the whole University, is published bi-monthly and features news, notes, profiles, classifieds, and articles on and by alumni and students.

HDS alumni are encouraged to submit content to be considered for publication in the Harvard Divinity Bulletin and Harvard Divinity Today. Submit your story ideas, news, class notes, or news about recent publications to alums@hds.harvard.edu.
