Life At HBS Chats are a unique opportunity to hear straight from current HBS students regarding their MBA experience. These current students will share their backgrounds and talk about how they have cultivated their personal and professional interests while at HBS through their participation in the
Rock Summer Fellows Program. Rock Summer Fellows enables students to continue to explore their entrepreneurial path, both as founders and as those interested in joining early-stage startups, during the summer between their RC (first-year) and EC (second-year) year. We recommend pairing this event with an
Admissions Hosted Q&A Information Session to learn more about the MBA Program and admissions process. Come ready with questions! The students you will get to speak with are below!
