The Better Half

Imagine a fresh-smelling kitchen, including a sink without any dirty dishes. Imagine no lines to use the machines at Shad. Imagine unlimited and undisturbed access to the Internet. A fantasy world? Not quite – it was Spring Break for many partners, including myself. There were a special few of us bestowed with the privilege of… Continue reading The Better Half

Section B Gives Something Back

The following is an article about Section OB spending Last years spring break giving back on an outreach project. While most first year sections chose to spend spring break in warmer climates enjoying tropical surroundings, lush vegetation, sandy beaches, and tropical drinks, section B chose to find more fulfilling venues to spend the week away… Continue reading Section B Gives Something Back

NH: Spring Break 2002

On March 25th, Aldrich 9 looked different under the fluorescent lights. While Professor Koehn continued to enlighten us with her usual entrepreneurial spirit and Professor Pill again wowed us with his masterful chalkboard cartography skills, a new, warm cast of sun-kissed skin highlighted by bright-colored clothing, and tired eyes yet new vigor and life filled… Continue reading NH: Spring Break 2002

Section B Gives Something Back

While most first year sections chose to spend spring break in warmer climates enjoying tropical surroundings, lush vegetation, sandy beaches, and tropical drinks, section B chose to find more fulfilling venues to spend the week away from school. Prominent section B member Brian Boyd summed up the his section-mates’ sentiments over spring break: “I felt… Continue reading Section B Gives Something Back

Blackmail Photos

The A-Team heads into the last full week of class before Spring Break with more fond memories of The Winter Olympics held at Peter Tynan’s house. This past week has also included: Pottery painting for the Ladies of A A dinner of desserts at Finale followed by drinks A near-gas explosion during EM  A… Continue reading Blackmail Photos

Backgammon Barry

Aside from learning about the remarkable resumes of fellow students, it’s always amazing to hear about other accomplishments that don’t quite fit on MBA classcards. Something you may not have heard is that our fellow Section H’er, Barry Gittleman, is not only a former Naval submarine commander, but he is also the Champion of the… Continue reading Backgammon Barry

Golf is to Business as Ham is to Eggs

For the non-golfers out there, “ham-and-egging” is a term used to describe when golf players complement each other well. As in, “That Cher and Sonny – they really ham-and-egg”, or “Brian and Luis, they so ham-and-egged that they took all of Julian’s and Kevin’s money this weekend.” You get my drift. This is my story… Continue reading Golf is to Business as Ham is to Eggs

Giddyup Soldier!

I don’t really know what that means, but it sure sounds kind of cool. Hmm, I’m not sure what to write today. I could write about my spring break plans (Italy, ooh), but I’m afraid that providing any additional information might threaten my secret identity. Oh, I know what we could talk about! Let’s talk… Continue reading Giddyup Soldier!

Strange Behavior

As did the whole RC class, the A-Team began another new course this past week-The Entrepreneurial Manager. Normally this would not merit more than a few words, much less a few sentences, in this column. However, the section’s behavior so far in this class is just way too bizarre and comical not to investigate. Perhaps… Continue reading Strange Behavior

NJ goes skiing

If I got a penny for every time someone asked me if NJ had really been skiing, I would probably have at least three cents by now. And as I predicted, the brutal course of section love took its toll in the spring break. One day it was there, and the next day it was… Continue reading NJ goes skiing

Spring Break in Nicaragua

Whatever happened to Nicaragua? A few years ago the country was front-page news in the New York Times every other week, for all the wrong reasons. Chances are your impression is of a volatile banana republic plagued by natural disasters and rumbling civil war between Marxists and US-backed counter-revolutionaries. Yet the reality is very different,… Continue reading Spring Break in Nicaragua

The Back Nine

Apologies for not getting this “Spring Break” golf report out until this week, but there were some lost film issues that The Coop had to overcome before I could get these shots into print. At any rate, a group of 20 `ND’s and a token entry from NA (Mike Dobbs) headed to Cabo San Lucas… Continue reading The Back Nine

The Envelope Please

Where has the time gone? It’s been a while since Section E has made the papers, but it certainly hasn’t been for a lack of events! In the spirit of the recent Academy Awards, I have bestowed my own personal list of winners. Drum roll please…Spring Break Awards The “Havana good time, wish you were… Continue reading The Envelope Please

News from the House of D

After weeks of intense interviewing, improvising cold calls, and blizzards, September cohorts finally got their much-anticipated and well-deserved Spring Break. In fact, Section D was geared up for the break on our final day of class. Kristine Dugan showed up in a cowboy hat that gave away her plans for the next week. Guillaume Jabalot… Continue reading News from the House of D

Havoc in Havana

The immigration officials must have found it very ironic that the children of the “Creating Modern Capitalism” generation chose the bastion of communist revolutionary belief for their spring break vacation. Despite the irony of it, roughly 10% of the current September RC cohort set off to Cuba for a week of cigar smoking, mojito sipping,… Continue reading Havoc in Havana

Nor'easter fails to blow Jan classes, September NEG Exam away

It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good, or so we are told. Two storm systems collided over the Eastern seaboard last week bringing us a bunch of snow, but failing to shake the iron resolve of the HBS faculty and administration. While second-years were happily slashing through sweltering Amazonian rain forests or building… Continue reading Nor'easter fails to blow Jan classes, September NEG Exam away

Fugakyu—It's Not a Bad Word Anymore

Sushi, sake, sushi, sake…Section C got into a nice easy rhythm Wednesday night as it enjoyed raw delicacies at Fugakyu restaurant in Brookline. What started off as a mere mid-week study break organized by Erik Schulz snowballed (fittingly) into a 50-person assault on calm Japanese sensibilities (in the form of the restaurant’s owners). While there… Continue reading Fugakyu—It's Not a Bad Word Anymore

Exotic Asian Cuisine

Fabulous restaurant–its classic contemporary with subtle Asian influences atmosphere is reason alone to visit–not to mention the so called sexy Satay bar. However, be prepared to leave your pocketbook at the table. The food is excellent though, and worth the price for such attention to unique aromatic flavor combinations, creative food presentations, and chic ambiance.… Continue reading Exotic Asian Cuisine

Spring Break OB Style

Even if spring is not in the air, love certainly is in Club B. Not one, not two, but THREE of our sectionmates recently got engaged! Apparently, we are all a little too afraid of facing the prospect of “life after HBS” alone. Craig Chapman was able to convince his girlfriend, Carin Bronner, to marry… Continue reading Spring Break OB Style

110 HBS Students in South Africa = Madness and Mayhem

Still giddy from a fantastic trip that will be treasured for a lifetime, I am inspired to share some of the comedic highlights from a trip that involved 110 HBS students in South Africa over spring break. While we promised that what is shared on safari, stays on safari (and given the PG rating of… Continue reading 110 HBS Students in South Africa = Madness and Mayhem
