Who’s not excited about home and home cooking? We all are and for some reason, the farther you are from home, the more excited you are about all things back there. Hence, a substantial amount of time at any of our weekly exclusive “girl” gatherings is spent talking about home and about all the things [...]

Around 50 students escaped the harsh Boston winter for a week in sunny Mexico on HBS’s first Latin American IXP.

The hills beckoned on the last morning of the Mexico IXP. Our Crowne Plaza hotel overlooked the city’s central river, beyond which low hills rose to the Sierra Madre. We had been in Monterrey three days but I had not had time to jog through the city (a habit of mine when traveling). Just across [...]

Like many of my favorite memories from Afghanistan, it all began with an innocent phone call on a lazy Sunday afternoon. “Hey man, what are you doing?” It was Ahmed.* “Oh, nothing really. Just surfing the web at my guest house. I wish we’d gone somewhere this weekend. I’m pretty bored.” “Do you want to [...]
Faculty Perspectives

Global thinkers, flexible, collaborative, empathetic, learning-oriented, with values clarity. That’s the skill-set for the future, one that is a little different from what HBS graduates might have had on their list even a decade ago. Cultivating these personal characteristics will be more important than picking the right country, industry, or job. The first job after [...]
Restaurant Review – Tu Y Yo
Uncategorized
Feb 202007
Boston Globe ranks Tu Y Yo one of the city’s most authentic restaurants-What it’s all about. It’s very difficult as a native Mexican to find traditional, home-style Mexican cooking in New England. Most American restaurants offer burritos and nachos as authentic Mexican dishes, ignoring the homemade recipes that truly represent Mexico’s wide variety of regional [...]
