Harvard Business School Admissions Director Looks Forward to Summer
Dee Leopold, dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard Business School (HBS), shared a smattering of admissions updates in a recent post to her Director’s Blog. Class visits will soon conclude, the schedule for information sessions will shift, and the application for the Class of 2016 will go live at the end of May, she wrote.
April 30th marks the final day for class visits at HBS until next fall. “We don’t have any summer classes so there’s nothing to see!” Leopold noted. Beginning May 10th, information sessions will be held for visitors to campus on Mondays and Fridays at 2 p.m. Members of the Admission Board conduct these sessions, leaving plenty of time for questions. You don’t need to register in advance to attend an information session, but don’t expect to meet one-on-one with admissions staff on your visit. “We do not meet individually with candidates,” Leopold wrote. Also effective May 10th, campus tours will depart from Dillon House at 1 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays. No need to sign up for these in advance either, Leopold said. Continue reading…

Campus Chronicles: The Harbus
Welcome back to Campus Chronicles, where we get the student perspective on the news at top business programs. This week we flip open The Harbus and find out what’s new for students at Harvard Business School.
HBS students Amanda Burlison and Alexandra Daum were recently elected to lead the HBS Women’s Student Association (WSA), the largest student group on campus. The two have already organized hundreds of students to participate in “lean in” sessions across campus in the coming weeks, small group discussions of 10-12 people about women and business intended to foster female success in the workplace. The “lean in” groups are advocated by prominent author and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in her book “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” which was published earlier this year. Recently, HBS Dean Nitin Nohria announced that the WSA will endow the Women’s Student Association Fellowship—which awards up to $20,000 each year to a second-year student who has promoted the female community at HBS—marking the first time a fellowship will be endowed by a student group at HBS.
