The Rowing Club at Harvard Griffin GSAS

About Us

Rowing on the Charles river is one of Harvard's greatest traditions

The Rowing Club at Harvard Griffin GSAS aims to provide the opportunity to enjoy that tradition to Harvard Griffin GSAS Students and other Harvard Graduate Students and Associates. We train and row in sweep boats, currently in 8+s but with hopes to acquire a 4+ in the future. We prioritise weekly training to keep those who love to row on the water but also enter local regattas from casual events like the MIT Hamburger Cup to the Head of the Charles for more experienced rowers. If you love to row, we'd love to have you (especially if you are a cox!). And if you've never rowed before, this could be a great opportunity to learn.
