The Hart Leadership Program has a vibrant alumni community. Meet some of our alumni here, and learn how alumni can get involved with Hart now.

The Hart Leadership Program has been offering courses since 1987, and since then some 12,000+ students have taken our courses and/or participated in our cocurricular programming. We have a vibrant alumni community.

In the coming years, we aim to ramp up our alumni engagement efforts, creating more opportunities for alumni to connect with one another and with our current students.

If you're a Hart Leadership Program alum looking to get involved, you've come to the right place.
