Spring Break
On an HBS trek a little out of the ordinary, 22 students left Boston on December 29th to visit Africa and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain on the continent at 19,343 ft (5,896 m). The trip combined three days of safari with seven days of hiking up the mountain.
February is Black History Month and this month the Harbus will present you with a series of articles detailing the contributions of African Americans at HBS. African Americans have a long history here at Harvard University. Harvard Business School's first African American graduate was Monroe Dowling, class of 1931.
Last week's prolific snowfall (a record 43.1 inches in January to date) and freezing temperatures left many students who were out of town on weekend trips unable to return to Boston (due to an all day shutdown at Logan airport, buried cars, and other travel hassles).
Students on the HBS Greater China Trek visited Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing all in one whirlwind week. Here, students stopped for a photo before visiting GE's China Technology Center in Shanghai.
