Will I Belong?

“The section—the incredibly diverse group of 94 classmates, hand-picked to create a representative microcosm of the entire +900 class —has been the most wonderful unexpected gift in my HBS journey. To them I am grateful for the many lessons they have taught me, but, most importantly, to them I am grateful for giving me the freedom to be my authentic self.”

In a milestone for our mission to educate leaders who make a difference in the world, all first year students last month completed a short new course on the Social Purpose of the Firm (SPF), organized by the Institute for the Study of Business in Global Society (BiGS). Over two days, 11 faculty members taught five new cases involving companies ranging from @microsoft to Sweden’s @northvolt electric battery maker, raising questions about the role business plays in addressing environmental and societal issues. Read more about the course and the cases studied at the link in our bio.
