The Harbus is the student newspaper of Harvard Business School (HBS) in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1937, it is one of the oldest MBA student newspapers in the world.[1] The newspaper is run entirely by HBS students, and its articles are written by current students, alumni, and faculty members.
History[edit]
The Harbus was founded in 1937 by a group of Harvard Business School students who recognized the need for a student-run publication that could cover issues relevant to the HBS community. Over the years, the newspaper has undergone several changes, including a shift from a monthly to a weekly publication schedule in 1979.
Today, The Harbus has a circulation of over 10,000, reaching not just the HBS community, but also alumni, recruiters, and the wider business community. It is staffed entirely by students, who are responsible for reporting, editing, and publishing the newspaper.
The Harbus is located in Gallatin Hall, which is one of seven buildings named for notable secretaries of the United States Treasury at the suggestion of George F. Baker (who financed the construction of HBS). It is named for Abraham Alfonse Albert Gallatin. Designed as a student residence by McKim, Mead & White as part of the School’s original master plan, Gallatin Hall was constructed in 1926.[2] Gallatin’s basement, where The Harbus’s offices are located, are connected to the rest of the business school’s campus via a series of tunnels.[3]
Content[edit]
The Harbus covers a wide range of topics related to business and management education, including news and analysis of HBS events and initiatives, student life, career advice, industry trends, and interviews with prominent business leaders. In addition to its print publication, The Harbus maintains an active online presence through its website, which features breaking news, multimedia content, and in-depth analysis. The Harbus publishes eight print editions per year.
In addition to its regular content, The Harbus publishes several special publications each year, including a guide to the HBS curriculum for current students, a satire edition, and a guide to help prospective applicants navigate the admissions process.[4] The Harbus also maintains a social media presence featuring the fictional "Harby," to whom students can write and ask questions during their time at HBS (in the style of "Dear Abby").[5]
The Harbus Foundation[edit]
The Harbus Foundation is a non-profit organization that was established in 1997 by the Harbus.[6] The foundation provides financial support to non-profit organizations that address pressing social issues, particularly those that benefit underprivileged communities and pertain to the three focus areas of education, literacy, and journalism.[7] The Harbus Foundation operates on an entirely volunteer basis (made up of members of the student body), with a board of directors made up of Harvard Business School students who oversee the grant-making process. The Harbus Foundation aims to support organizations that have a sustainable and measurable impact, and to inspire future business leaders to be socially responsible and make a positive difference in the world.
