In addition to collaborating with other offices on events and programming throughout the year, our office coordinates two major events annually: Worldwide Week at Harvard, a University-wide celebration of Harvard’s global engagement; and Harvard Abroad, a half-day conference on international activities at Harvard. Learn more about each event below.
Worldwide Week at Harvard showcases the remarkable breadth of Harvard’s global engagement. During Worldwide Week, Harvard Schools, research centers, departments, and student organizations host academic and cultural events with global or international themes.
Each year during Worldwide Week, Harvard's global office directors come to campus to participate in a full-day summit hosted by the OVPIA, enabling them to trade best practices and learn about campus and international developments that affect their work.
The OVPIA and visiting global office directors annually host an information table to share information about Harvard's global offices with our community.
Harvard Abroad is a half-day conference on international activities at Harvard, hosted annually at the start of the Spring semester by the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs.
