News: $500,000 HBS LGBT Fellowship
HBS alumni and the LGBT Student Association launch the $500,000
fundraising campaign for the
HBS LGBT Fellowship.
Our Mission
- Maintain a supportive environment for LGBT students in
the classroom, in corporate recruiting, and around campus.
Identifying as LGBT--whether at Harvard or in the greater business
world--can be an intimidating and difficult process. We provide a safe
community for our LGBT students and their partners, and we enjoy the
support of our straight allies. We help LGBT-friendly companies and
not-for-profit organizations reach out to the prospective talent in our
group. We hold social gatherings that connect our community with
classmates at HBS, with LGBT students at other graduate schools, and
with our alumni.
- Increase awareness and understanding of LGBT people at
the school and the surrounding business community.
In keeping with HBS’s mission to educate tomorrow’s leaders, we strive
to help our classmates and professors better understand the issues
involved in being--or working with--LGBT people. We kick off the year
with a campus-wide National Coming Out Day celebration, a day when most
students show their support by wearing a rainbow ribbon. Throughout the
year we hold peer workshops. We bring speakers to campus. We partner
with HBS Admissions on attracting talented prospective students, and
with the faculty on curriculum development.
