Club updates:  

With immense sorrow, the Harvard Club of Detroit has lost our esteemed member Bob Goodenow (1952-9/13/2025).  Bob graduated from Harvard University in 1974 and was the dedicated Hockey Team Captain.  An Attorney, he is most notable for serving as the Executive Director of the NHL Players Association from 1992-2005.  Many of us had enjoyed the pleasure of his company at our recent event on September 7th.  A graceful gentleman, his passion for hockey continued to flourish as he discussed the coming Detroit Red Wings season.  As an entrepreneur and investor, he extended his pursuits into starting the Suburban Sports Group.  This consortium of ice rinks ensured countless youth could stay healthy and pursue their hockey and skating dreams.  We are currently planning a hockey related event to honor his life.
 

The Harvard Club of Detroit is pleased to announce that Sophia Franz has graduated with a BSc in International Business & Finance - Summa Cum Laude.  She accomplished this in only 3 years, while working two jobs and assisting the Club!  We applaud her hard work and zeal at such a young age.  Thank you Sophia!
