Mission

Harvard GSAS Business Club is a dedicated association that aspires to build and nourish a vibrant and connected community of graduate students, who are interested in exploring career opportunities in the business world. We offer a range of events and workshops around career development, networking and business education, enabling graduate students to establish a foothold and achieve their goals in the business world.

The Harvard GSAS Business Club seeks to find networking opportunities for GSAS students interested in business. Among the activities organized by the HGBC are a 10-session business course offering an overview of the material typically covered in the first year of an MBA program, networking events for GSAS students to interact with other students and business professionals, and a seminar series featuring professionals in business-or finance-related fields, such as entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, executives, and investment bankers. The HGBC will inform the GSAS community about sponsored events through, at minimum, its mailing list and website.
