Harvard Creative Careers Conference 2025
Join us on Saturday, September 20, for the second annual Harvard Creative Careers Conference! This in-person event on the Harvard campus is sponsored by the Office for the Arts, Harvard Alumni Association and 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 learn about the experience of alums, and alums will 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.
