Harvard-Radcliffe Class of 1981

All our events are on the HR1981 class calendar.

Summer 2025

We have nothing scheduled for July & August, but we’ll resume in September, including with drop-in socials.

September

Sunday, Sept. 14, 4-5:30 pm ET, Poetry reading & chat: Elise Paschen ’81
Register now. Classmate Elise Paschen will read from and discuss her new poetry collection, Blood Wolf Moon.  In this collection, Elise explores her Osage history, including poems about the land, loss, ancestors and language. 

Elise is the award-winning author of several poetry collections. A co-founder of Poetry in Motion, Elise teaches in the MFA Writing Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Contact: Ruth Milkman.

An unofficial mini-reunion in the San Francisco Bay Area is being planned by a committee of your classmates.

The program is filling out rapidly, and includes receptions at classmate homes and visits to some beautiful Bay Area spots.

Check out the agenda (still in progress).

If you missed the Oct. 14 author discussion with Marc Schultz, co-author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness (The Harvard Study), or simply want to revisit the event, the recording is now in our collection.

(Harvard Key required, so that this can be restricted to classmates only. If that’s a problem for you, let me know.)
