Because we are dedicated to making Reunion financially feasible for all classmates, the registration form contains pricing options both for the complete Reunion program and for individual events. Although the School subsidizes the cost of Reunion, unfortunately, not all expenses are covered; thus, we do charge a nominal amount. In the interest of equity, we are unable to offer discounts to individual alumni at this time. Thank you for understanding.
Air Travel: This Reunion, HKS is asking that you consider buying carbon offsets to mitigate the negative climate and health impacts of air travel if you are flying into Cambridge. The School’s Sustainability Leadership Council has identified two platforms that provide a way to calculate your greenhouse gas emissions impact from air travel and purchase carbon offsets: Atmosfair and Wren; there are many other ways to offset the climate impacts of your air travel. Harvard University does not endorse any provider of carbon offsets or other vendor. Thank you for supporting sustainability at HKS!
Food-related: Harvard uses more than 250 local farmers to supply food for our campuses’ events and community members throughout the year and we select our menus based on seasonal availability to make sure we are able to provide more climate-friendly foods for our community members. The forks, knives, spoons, plates, and napkins at this year’s Reunion are 100% compostable--please use the green compostable bins to reduce our food-related waste streams.
Plastic/water-related: HKS has been working to reduce plastic waste on campus in our operations, limit the amount of plastic that arrives on campus, and collaborate with our vendors to change their purchasing practices to more climate and health-friendly products with less plastic. For the second year, HKS will not serve individual plastic bottles for attendees at Reunion. A recyclable metal water bottle was introduced in the HKS cafeteria in November 2021.
Landscaping: Harvard’s campuses are part of a larger, interconnected ecosystem, and the actions we take will have ripple effects through the natural environment. Harvard will protect and enhance the ecosystems and green spaces that our University owns, manages, and impacts, in order to enhance regional biodiversity and personal well-being. The majority of Harvard’s landscaped areas use an organic landscaping program free of pesticides.
Learn more: You can learn more about HKS’s approach to sustainability, climate, and health in our research, teaching, and operations at Climate at HKS.
The Kennedy School has measures in place to ensure safety and security on our campus. In addition, a Harvard University ID card, or Reunion name badge during Reunion weekend, is required for access to Kennedy School buildings.
