In turbulent moments like these, I believe it’s essential that all alumni feel included and welcome in the Harvard community. Uniting people to strengthen the alumni community in this time of crisis and historical change is our collective responsibility. The relationships we make across the Harvard Club of Sri Lanka as we connect across our diverse experiences are phenomenal. The alumni community is here to support you. If you need help, I guarantee your fellow alumni will be there. I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible people who are passionate about Harvard. I’m so grateful for their perspectives as we seek new opportunities to build and support an inclusive community. 

Our vision for the year ahead is an extension of our commitment to “One Harvard,” bringing alumni from all of Harvard’s Schools together to play an even more catalysing role in shaping a better world, as well as to connect, support, and learn from one another across perspectives. This is needed more today than at any other point in our lifetimes. The Harvard alumni community can give you so much, not just meaningful intergenerational, global friendships, but also a path to having an impact together in a way that is special to Harvard.
