Spring Break
Mother Nature has been kind to Boston this fall, with temperatures consistently holding their ground. But as the trees shed their leaves, winter looms not so far off into the distance. Winter officially starts on November 21. So bundle up and keep your fingers crossed for a mild winter season.
Much of the RC population escaped campus this past weekend to take advantage of a long-standing HBS tradition - section retreats. And for many ECs, section retreats stand out as defining moments in their first-year section experience (especially those that included hot tubs).
U.S., Russian, and Ukrainian Governments, EBRD, IFC, World Bank, and private investors (representing over $2 Trillion in total assets) gathered for 3-day Summit on Russian and Ukrainian Investment Opportunities.

Under the theme of "The Biggest Opportunity in the World", a lineup of top-level speakers visited HBS this past Wednesday for the annual Energy Symposium.

Picture this. You stroll into Aldrich 8 on a Monday afternoon and squeeze yourself into a seat along with more than 100 other students who have crammed themselves into every square inch of space in the classroom.

Last weekend saw the one and only Section I venture out into the lovely surrounds of Mt. Snow in Vermont. Away from campus, the busy-ness of the week past was soon forgotten as action picked up with a dance party of the bus. Sectionmates and their partners (108 in total) gathered in the evening to enjoy the "very unique" pizzas, drinks and music (courtesy Nolan "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townsend).
