Interview with Jeanie Duck, Boston Consulting Group
Jeanie Duck, Senior Vice President at the Boston Consulting Group, knows a thing or two about change. She lost her job in the early ’80s when the company she worked for went bankrupt, and saw at first-hand the emotional havoc wreaked on all those caught up in the maelstrom. Undeterred, she bounced back, and was… Continue reading Interview with Jeanie Duck, Boston Consulting Group

Helpful Harvard Hints
Ever since I came to HBS, I’ve picked up a few helpful hints. After all, it’s the little things that make me happy. I’m sure most students already know about most that I will mention, especially the EC’s.

K-School Panel Discusses Future of Black Music Local Entertainment Panel Analysis
The Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics Forum hummed with activity on Friday afternoon [February 28], as enthusiastic members of the Harvard community dodged television cameras, a coterie of technicians and the space’s usual foot traffic in search of seats for Whose Music Is It Anyway?, a panel on the future of African-American music and the… Continue reading K-School Panel Discusses Future of Black Music Local Entertainment Panel Analysis

Dear Gaurav, How do I get into the hive if I’m not a wasp? signed,Wannabe Before I advise you on how, my lawyers have told me to cover myself by giving you this simple warning – you will get stung. I know how to get into the hive, I unfortunately don’t know how to get… Continue reading Dear Gaurav
Personal Impressions
Perhaps you have wondered what transpired in the art world to bring impressionist posters to the dorm walls of college women everywhere. The answer may lie in the current exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. A strict teleological interpretation of Impressionism leads us to understand this period as a natural progression toward… Continue reading Personal Impressions
HBS Women Make Art Their Business
Natasha Pearl (MBA ’89) took a typical post-HBS path, serving stints in American Express, Booz-Allen and Mercer Consulting, primarily focused on financial services marketing. However, when she took a sabbatical to work through a systematic career transition program, a very different idea emerged. Her career counselor, Mary Burton (an HBS MBA graduate), had her list… Continue reading HBS Women Make Art Their Business
Poetry Review: Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate
Poetry and HBS students typically go together like Microsoft Excel and art history majors. In his December 12 appearance at Harvard, the U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins reminded me how poetry can provide time for simple things business school can push aside: an easy laugh, a few minutes of reflection, or a little help getting… Continue reading Poetry Review: Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate
Shades of Gray
For most of our lives, we go home for the holidays alone or with an established significant other (plus or minus offspring). Less frequent are the audition trips, where you introduce a significant other. These cannot be taken lightly. Your partner will see your primary source for defining “family,” observe how you interact with long-term… Continue reading Shades of Gray

Editor-in-Chief's Farewell
Somehow it doesn’t feel quite right. It may say “Editor-in-Chief” under my name, but the drive behind this year’s edition of The Harbus most definitely came from someone else – a person who revamped the design, content, and attitude of The Harbus in more ways than most people recognize. That person is Nicholas Allen Will… Continue reading Editor-in-Chief's Farewell
Holiday Season Line Up
Even with the holidays (and finals) fast approaching, the Boston art scene hasn’t stopped thumping. While, for many, our schedules are already spread too thinly over the next few weeks attending holiday parties, preparing our final presentations or getting holiday shopping done, there is still a wealth of creative opportunities to explore in Boston. Some… Continue reading Holiday Season Line Up
HBS Art Appreciation Society:
When a section-mate and I founded the HBS Art Appreciation Society last year, we wanted to encourage dialogue around the arts on the HBS campus, bring attention to the HBS Collection, and explore the Boston art scene with our classmates. We also aimed to infuse HBS with an appreciation for culture and beautiful things, to… Continue reading HBS Art Appreciation Society:
The Two Year (Old's) MBA
In the mornings, I pack my husband and two-year-old son off to their respective schools and sometimes, when the humor takes me, I wonder what would happen if they accidentally swapped places. In the interests of creative journalism, I’m prepared to take a punt and put some thoughts down as to how toddlers might view… Continue reading The Two Year (Old's) MBA

Moving forward, glancing back.
This undated (but probably ca. 1950) photograph shows the impressive facade of Baker Library. Though the upcoming renovation of the library will result in a state-of-the art structure that supports technological development and twenty-first century research needs, it will not compromise the architectural distinction of the building.

Baker Library Renovation Planned for Summer 2003
In surveys of library users, Baker consistently gets high marks for its collections and services, but very low marks for its physical amenities. However, the days of trying to study at Baker despite the drone of the fans, blowing paper and heat and humidity are numbered. The School is now planning for major renovations to… Continue reading Baker Library Renovation Planned for Summer 2003
HBS Art Appreciation Society Hits Top Newbury Street Gallery
I know nothing about art. Okay, that’s perhaps not entirely accurate. In undergrad I took Introduction to Art History, but that was mostly because Anna Bordeau – she of the sexy French accent and flirtatious demeanor – was also taking it, and because alphabetical seating is a beautiful thing. Though one could argue that my… Continue reading HBS Art Appreciation Society Hits Top Newbury Street Gallery
Hitchcock and Suspense
What differentiates one director’s style from another? Without knowing the name of a film, what small details in a film allows one say, “Oh, this is one of those Ford westerns?” The cinematic style in which a director (and a cinematographer) chooses to shoot a scene, light a set, and construct the physical parameters of… Continue reading Hitchcock and Suspense
HBS Art Appreciation Society
Although Boston’s Newbury Street galleries have traditionally catered to a more conservative clientele who prefer the representational to the conceptual, there is change in the air. Under the new direction of Abigail Ross, the Judi Rotenberg Gallery, a 30-year old veteran of the street, is undergoing a transformation of sorts. Rotenberg opened the eponymous gallery… Continue reading HBS Art Appreciation Society
Two Taboos – Unhappy and Single at HBS
Does the idea of section bonding make you nauseas? Are you developing arthritis from sitting in the same seat, in that same room? Are your section mates spreading “she’s too good for us” rumors because you haven’t been seen at the last ten section events this past month? Are you bruised from bumping into the… Continue reading Two Taboos – Unhappy and Single at HBS

Designed for Life: Design School vs. HBS
I thought I would write about my observations and experience as a cross-reg student from the Graduate School of Design (GSD). On my walks over the river to Shangri-La, I would reflect on differences in teaching style, people, campus environment, and perceptions of time. Allow me to share. For those who don’t know, the GSD… Continue reading Designed for Life: Design School vs. HBS

Editor's Welcome: The International Perspective
As you’ll quickly come to realize over the coming weeks, I get confused easily. Shoe laces, Muller corners, pedestrian crossings, stop signs – though I appear to be joined on this one by most of Boston’s drivers – have all left me questioning my sanity. And since being given this job I’ve been thoroughly perplexed… Continue reading Editor's Welcome: The International Perspective
Editor's Welcome: The American Perspective
When I first told my family that I would be editing the A&E section for the Harbus, they laughed. And this wasn’t the scoffing laugh of futility that they gave me when I applied to HBS or the skeptical laugh of disbelief when I told them that I was accepted – this was a different… Continue reading Editor's Welcome: The American Perspective
