About Sarah Karmon:
A longtime member of the Harvard community, Sarah Karmon became Associate Vice President and Executive Director of the HAA in January 2023, after serving for four years as the HAA’s deputy executive director. In that role, she oversaw all operational aspects of the HAA, working with colleagues from across the Schools and central administration in support of Harvard’s 400,000-plus alumni around the world.
As Associate Vice President and Executive Director, Karmon is responsible for the strategic direction of the HAA and leads a network of more than 17,500 alumni volunteers. She is tasked with leading the engagement and stewardship of an inclusive, University-wide alumni community, supporting the evolution of a global network and introducing new ways to connect alumni through technology. As part of this work, Karmon oversees the HAA’s extensive programming and engagement initiatives and events, including Harvard Alumni Day and College reunions, as well as leading staff who support the many Harvard Clubs, shared interest groups, lifelong learning programs, online services, and worldwide alumni events.
Sarah joined the HAA as the Senior Director of University-wide Affairs in August 2016. She also served as Special Assistant to the Presidential Search which resulted in the appointment of Larry Bacow JD ’76, MPP ’76, PhD ’78 as Harvard’s 29th President in February 2018. Prior to joining the HAA, Karmon worked for four years as Chief of Staff to Provost Alan Garber AB ’77, PhD ’82 at Harvard University. She began her career at Harvard in 1999 in the University Development Office and is a graduate of Vassar College. In her free time, she enjoys traveling with her family, especially to their favorite destination, Italy.
