The Harvard Club of Chicago (HCC) is the oldest, continuously operating Harvard Club in the world, having been founded in 1857.

It is one of the largest urban clubs with a membership of over 1,300 alumni/ae out of a universe of over 7,000 in the greater Chicago area.

The Harvard Club of Chicago is a very active club with two to four member programs each month. In addition, the club has an energetic schools committee for interviewing prospective high school seniors, an Adopt-A-School program with the Walter Payton College Prep public high school in Chicago, a Decade program for recent college graduates, and a Radcliffe Club organizing programs of special interest to women alumnae. The club currently contributes $30,000 to college scholarships and over $10,000 to community service fellowships and activities each year.

The Harvard Club of Chicago invites all interested alumni/ae, students and parents, and current and former faculty to join the club and participate in its activities.

(For out-of-town alumni/ae, please note that you are more than welcome to participate in club activities at member rates when in town, but also that the Harvard Club of Chicago does not have resident facilities such as are found in New York and Boston.)
