Background and Expo Overview

Join Harvard Alumni for Global Women's Empowerment (Harvard GlobalWE) Connect for its sixth Women's Empowerment Expo and first Expo in a hybrid format on March 25th from 8 AM-3 PM at Harvard University and online. Similar to our previous Expo, we will be hosting organizations from around the world (click here for videos from past events.) This will be a key gathering of individuals across global leaders, artists, educators, and scientists who are committed to learning about opportunities in our global community, connecting, and leading toward positive change. This year we are focusing on:

  • Global Leadership

  • Women's Voice 

  • Healthy and Sustainable Communities 

  • Women in Sports 

We plan to introduce our participants to more than 20 organizations in an interactive, hands-on experience in both virtual and in-person formats, followed by a closing activity.
