SUMMER 2014
MEMBER UPDATE FROM HARVARD UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION
Celebrating 75 Years Harvard University Employees Credit Union is celebrating our 75th anniversary! HUECU was founded on June 26, 1939, when Harvard University employees banded together to create equal access to quality financial services within our community. We are excited to celebrate this milestone with members and friends throughout the communities we serve. While our founders wouldn’t recognize many of the ways we interact with our members today, the cooperative principles that they first established are as strong as ever.
