This edition of Campus Chronicles heads to Cambridge, to HBS, and more specifically to The Harbus, the news publication of MBA students at Harvard Business School.
On this coming Monday, the HBS Charity Fashion show will return to benefit The Harris Center. Funds raised through this event will go to spreading awareness about eating disorders, including prevention and treatment. The event will also supplement the Harris Center’s work with The Council of Fashion Designers of America. The Fashion Show team of 14 has also gained partnerships with organizations such as Sephora, Rent the Runway, Bull & Buck, Bonobos, and startup site havetohave.com.
Student-founded startup CloudFlare was recently named “Most Innovative Network & Technology Company of 2011” by The Wall Street Journal. This high-tech company was founded by two HBS Class of 2009 graduates and is based in San Francisco.
