Saturday, April 6: The Iranian Weekend @Harvard at the Smith Campus Center at Harvard University

The Iranian Gala @Harvard strives to bring together leading professionals, artists, and academics who have dedicated themselves to furthering the study, understanding, and appreciation of Iranian culture, history, and society.

The vision of the Gala is to mobilize and empower the next generation of leaders in the Iranian community. To that end, proceeds from the Gala will go to the Harvard College Iranian Association and toward the advancement of Iranian studies at Harvard University.

​The Iranian Weekend @Harvard will bring together influential leaders with common interests and provide an open forum for the discussion of issues such as the role of Iranian Americans in space, the impact Iranian Americans have had on investing, the art of Iranian storytelling and music, and the evolving role of fashion in Iran.

The Weekend will also serve as a forum to honor leaders in these and other fields for their contributions to the community.
