As we welcome a new year and new decade, the MBA Career & Professional Development (MBA CPD) team aspires to provide you with an inside glimpse of HBS students. As our international recruiting partner, you're familiar with the case method, well-versed on our students' summer and full-time hiring statistics and aware of the many ways to recruit our students. But what are HBS students passionate about? What motivates them to develop leadership skills that will contribute to the global economy and well-being of society?
CONNECT is going beyond our hiring data and providing an up close and personal look at our students. We're revealing interviews with current MBA students, personal blogs and twitter feeds from Immersion Experience Programs across the globe. We hope these stories will inspire you and give you insight into some of the impressive students interested in working for your firm.
Thank you for your continued partnership with our office. We hope you enjoy the following feature stories from our current MBA classes.

We see a lot of good ideas fail because they weren't executed successfully — we need leadership that understands how to bring value to the people who can benefit from new ideas." -Alex Roth, MBA 2010

STUDENT PORTRAIT PROJECT
Marc Oman
The rhythm of chirping Blackberries. Students running from classes to meetings to a ringtone that never ends.
Another kind of rhythm. What I dream to produce one day. To become a percussionist in a live salsa band is my secret passion. Towering atop the timbales, touring the world, turning dancers' hips on fire. What a vida that would be!
Who inspired this unlikely vision of an engineering MBA turned musician? First it was my mom. When I was nine years old she took me to a drum studio near our Paris, France hometown and said "Amuses-toi (just have fun)!"Read More
The Portrait Project was started by Tony Deifell (MBA 2002) and continues each year with a selection from the graduating class. The 2009 Portrait Project is available here.
