Harvard Creative Careers Conference 2024
Sponsored by the Office for the Arts, the Harvard Alumni Association, and the Mignone Center for Career Success

Join us on Saturday, September 21, for the first-ever Harvard Creative Careers Conference! This in-person event on the Harvard campus is sponsored by the Office for the Arts, the Harvard Alumni Association, and the Mignone Center for Career Success. The conference will provide an opportunity for current Harvard College undergraduates and alums interested and working in all aspects of the arts experience and creative pursuits to learn and connect with each other. Students will be able to learn about the experience of alums, and alums will be able to share their journeys and advice about their pathways to creative careers with the students. We hope this will inspire students to explore creative entrepreneurship and think about how they can retain a creative understanding and use the arts to advance their careers.
