HARVARD UNDERGRADUATES
IN ASIA PROGRAM
WHO WE ARE
The Harvard Undergraduates in Asia Program (HUAP) is Harvard's premier student-run organization for US-Asia academic, cultural, and social exchange.
Learn, engage, and be inspired by hundreds of leaders from around the world, in a conference like no other.
In the winter, we host the Harvard Conference and invite our partner schools to Harvard to engage in meaningful dialogue, network, and build community. In the spring, our partner schools each host conferences in their country and invite us to learn more about their culture and their interpretation of the HUAP theme.
