The Harvard German Society
The Harvard German Society connects Harvard students and affiliates who share a passion for the cultures, languages, and future of the German-speaking world. We are the premier platform for engaging with transatlantic relations, European politics, and academic discourse, all within the tradition of sophisticated Harvard debate. From our weekly Stammtisch conversations to formal Speaker Series featuring leaders in diplomacy and industry, we cultivate a community rooted in intellect, professionalism, and a deep appreciation for the modern traditional European identity. Join us to build a lasting network and elevate the conversation.
To formally secure your place within the Harvard German Society’s distinguished network, get access to exclusive events and signing up for the newsletter kindly register using your Harvard email address. For our records and to facilitate tailored professional and social connections, please specify your current Harvard affiliation (e.g., AB, History; MPA, McCloy; VUS, Computer Science, etc.).
In the spirit of transatlantic collaboration, we also extend an invitation to our colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
