Thursday, June 11

Pioneered by HBS faculty and one of the highlights of the HBS experience, the case method is a profound educational innovation that presents the greatest challenges confronting organizations—complete with the constraints and incomplete information found in real business issues—and places the student in the role of the decision maker. Professor Jill Avery will be presenting on this innovative learning model and the role it plays in the HBS experience.

The HBS Community 

5 Reasons to Join a Club at HBS

When students arrive on campus for the first time, the suspense of meeting Section mates, preparing for potential cold calls, and understanding campus food options can feel overwhelming. Having the option to join a club that mirrors any facet of who you are helps greatly in the transition to life as an MBA student over the next two years. Having people to lean on during challenging times is what forges lifelong friendships and is one of the things that makes HBS such a vibrant community. While each club on campus builds its own micro-community, there are over ten affinity clubs that create fellowship among those with similar life experiences.
