RC students at Harvard Business School opened their hearts and wallets in recent weeks, raising approximately $287,000 in charity auctions held in each of the first-year class’s 10 sections. Following the auctions, charitable donations will be made to support various student-championed causes, including aid to wounded war veterans, the fight against terminal illnesses like cancer [...]
The HBS community began a sobering process of self-reflection on Thursday when all 10 RC sections convened for mandatory lunches in the wake of a sexual assault incident that raised questions about the broader culture at Harvard Business School. “We’re devoted to creating the conditions where people can thrive, so when we heard about this [...]
I believe in the HBS Community Values. We should respect each other’s rights, act honestly and with integrity, and take accountability for our personal behavior. Recently, I have become painfully aware of how our community upholds its values — by means of an opaque process that feels neither fair to the individual nor the community. [...]
Cold calls. Your professors love them. You fear them. Your ed rep crushes them. We think it’s about time that this HBS staple gets the rebranding it deserves. Each week, The Harbus will chat with a randomly-selected member of the student body. For this week’s special edition of the Cold Call, new Co-Editor-In-Chief Kate Lewis [...]
In September, my wife and I came home from the hospital with a beautiful baby boy. We were excited, we were happy, and we were exhausted.

Cold calls. Your professors love them. You fear them. Your ed rep crushes them. We think it’s about time that this HBS staple gets the rebranding it deserves. Each week, The Harbus will chat with a randomly-selected member of the student body. This week, Katie Peek sat down with Charlotte Taylor (NI) to talk about growing up global, who would win in a smart-fight between Tim Geithner and Barack Obama, and the best damn granola you’ve ever had.
In early September I attended the first Crimson Kids meeting, which is a club for HBS children, and started to realize there was more to to the partner role on campus. At the Crimson Kids kick-off meeting, a group of energetic parents welcomed me and several other new families and began explaining the many activities and enriching opportunities that would be available for children and parents throughout the year.
On the day that our new Co-Presidents Kunal and Laura assumed their role, we sent an email to the school that expressed our thanks to both the incredible leaders we worked with this year and to the student body of HBS. We also wrote about what our goals were for this year and how happy we are to see so many of these things become a reality.
This week, C. Patrick Erker sat down with Andrew Musoke (NB) to talk about bridging the gap between the US and Uganda, being mistaken for Bernie Madoff Warren Buffett, and the advice he would give to his future self.
