Connecting Harvard’s spouses and partners through community

HSSPA is a welcoming community for spouses, partners, and families — a place to meet friends, explore opportunities, and make the most of your Harvard experience.

Connect, Explore, and Have Fun!

Our groups bring together members who share common interests — from arts and culture to sports, wellness, hobbies, and more. Some groups connect mainly through chat discussions, while others host regular meetups and activities across campus and the Boston–Cambridge area.
