Volunteer Talking Points

Below are suggested talking points that HLSA volunteers can use in their interactions with HLS alumni or on behalf of the Club/SIG: 

Participation with the HLSA and its Clubs/SIGs:

  • If someone is looking to receive your HLSA Club/SIG newsletters (emails), encourage them to log into your Club/SIG's website and update their profile information. Once an alumnus logs into your website (hosted through AlumniMagnet), they will automatically be subscribed to your Club/SIG newsletters. Additional information here on email subscriptions and HarvardKey.

  • Encourage regular Club/SIG attendees to share an event invitation with three other HLS alumni. 


Participation with HLS and HU:

  • The HLS Alumni Center offers alumni volunteer opportunities outside of the HLSA and its Clubs/SIGs. These volunteer roles include participation in Class Reunion and Affinity Celebration committees and giving programs to encourage peers to give to HLS. Contact alumnirelations@law.harvard.edu for additional information.  

  • The Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) is the alumni association for all Harvard University graduates. If someone is looking to engage with the broader Harvard alumni audience, consider sharing with them the HAA's alumni engagement offerings. 
     

At your Club/SIG events: 

  • If your Club/SIG is looking for responses or feedback from your alumni audience, consider noting these in your remarks at an event or encouraging Club/SIG volunteers to discuss with HLS alumni throughout the event.

    • For example: A call to action (availability of Club/SIG volunteer roles, ensure contact information is up to date).  

  • Encourage HLS alumni to view the Advocate for Harvard & Higher Education to stay informed on Harvard news and happenings.
