If there’s one thing our LEAD (Leadership and Organizational Behavior) Professor David Fubini (MBA 1980) tried to drill into the MBA Class of 2024 Section I, it’s that we should take the time to thank the people who got us to HBS – whether that be our parents, our partners, our mentors, or everyone else in between.
And so, it came as no surprise that our section came together on a spring Saturday to fulfill this very purpose. We had a total of 81 guests, including attendees both in person and via Zoom. These individuals journeyed from as far away as France and as nearby as Watertown and Wayland, Massachusetts. Zoom allowed us to connect with participants spanning the globe, hailing from countries such as China, Colombia, Germany, Nigeria, the Philippines, and across the United States. [...]

As we touched down in Seoul, we were fully prepared to hit the ground running, poised to maximize the value of our ten days together. [...]

Brandon Moore (MBA/MPP 2025) shares his experience in public service and why he decided on the joint degree program with Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School. The MBA/MPP and MBA/MPA-ID are three-year programs that combine the core curricula of the HBS MBA and HKS degrees with a wide range of elective options from both schools. [...]
While HBS Admissions is merit-based, HBS Financial Aid is need-based, made possible by the generous support of our alumni. Because our process is a bit unique, there are often some misperceptions when it comes to our financial aid, especially for our 2+2 admitted students. We wanted to clear up some myths surrounding the process. [...]
