Campus Chronicles takes a gander at The Harbus today for an overview of what’s unfolding at HBS as seen through the eyes of its MBA students.
Ground was broken just last month for Tata Hall thanks to the generosity of Ratan Tata. Tata graduated from HBS’s Advanced Management Program for senior executives in 1975 and is currently the chairman of Tata Group; Tata Trusts and Companies gave a $50 million gift to Harvard Business School to enable the building of Tata Hall. This seven-storied structure will “help build community” among those in HBS Executive Education programs. The building is expected to be completed in December of 2013.
HBS Daniel Gwak ’12 has returned to the U.S. with a Purple Heart. Seven months ago, the marine reservist departed business school for combat in Afghanistan. While recently investigating a roadside bomb, Gwak was shot by a sniper in his left shoulder. The HBS student received treatment at Bethesda Naval Hospital and is currently making a full recovery.
The news outlet began its Alumni Interview Series by a conversation with Pete Lyon ’95. Lyon is currently a partner at Goldman Sachs and manages client coverage strategy in the Executive Office for the Investment Banking Division there. He noted in his interview that he feels “fortunate … to be working closely with many of [his] friends from HBS—both as clients and colleagues.” Lyon also gave advice to HBS students interested in investment banking regarding the demands of the industry and how to anticipate success in the long term.
