I Found My Future at HBS and You Can Too

I Found My Future at HBS and You Can Too

Although I did not know it at the time, my path to business school began on March 1, 1992. It was my ninth birthday, and I was enjoying the liberty that came with growing up on a farm on the outskirts of a small mining community in Ohio: riding my all-terrain vehicle (ATV) through muddy fields and plunging in and out of puddles of melted snow. My future career was far from my mind, but even at that young age, I was contemplating the world and my place in it. In Appalachia, opportunity ebbs and flows with the demand for steel and coal. And in 1992, many of the factories that had provided the community’s lifeblood sat dormant along the banks of the Ohio River. Consumed by poverty, the soft bigotry of low expectations had crept into the social construct, sentencing families in underserved communities like mine to a lifetime of waiting for steel and coal’s resurgence. Through rust-colored lenses, our place in the world appeared immutable. [...]

Veteran Financial Aid Outlook

Veteran Financial Aid Outlook

I have some good news and some bad news. First, the bad news: Graduate School might not be “free” after all. I know, this smacks in the face of everything I was told when I was a Cadet and Junior Officer. Unless you are participating in GrADSO or PB-GSIP for the Army, other cool programs our sister services have, or fulfilling a pre-assignment requirement to teach at one of the Service Academies or to be a strategist, my advice is to brace yourself for some loans. This is not unique to Harvard, though. Remember that VA allowable tuition and fees are a subset of the tuition and fees actually charged. Now the good news: After going through the full-time MBA program at HBS (even with the Coronavirus disruption and finishing my last quarter on-line), I don’t think I could put a price on the education and experiences I received.

Reflecting on my service

Reflecting on my service

Peter Kiernan Author MBA Students

As Veterans day approaches each year, I like to take time to reflect on my service, how it has changed my life’s trajectory and shaped who I have become. Serving in the military focused my purpose around protecting others: protecting my community after 9/11, protecting my brothers and sisters as we ventured into combat, protecting my fellow veterans as we transitioned back into a difficult world. So it was no surprise to me that as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, I found myself once again seeking to safeguard others, as the Deputy Director of Response Operations for the State of New York.

Remembering Well and Making Meaning of Memorial Day

Remembering Well and Making Meaning of Memorial Day

A.W. Simmons Author MBA Students
tag
  • Military
My ten years as an infantry and Special Forces officer in the Army taught me the limits of pure well-wishing – “hope alone is not a course of action,” one of my commanders loved to say. I believe remembering well means both taking stock of where we’ve been, and taking action – in service – going forward. [...]
