A Student club at harvard business school
Our Programs
We have an incredible list of sponsors who, through their funding and support, help us deliver extensive programming for all members
Some of the highlights of our club include:
Annual Women in
Business Conference
Every year, the WSA hosts the annual Women in Business Conference in February, attracting over 1,000 attendees. As one of HBS’ largest student-run events with over 1000 attendees last year, the conference aims to inspire the next generation of leaders by inviting inspirational women to share their valuable life experiences and lessons with its participants. It offers HBS students and the greater Boston community a unique opportunity to learn from and connect with powerful leaders with storied careers in every industry.
Career Development
The WSA hosts career development events throughout the year, including a semesterly career fair, “Women in Leadership” Fireside Chats, and quarterly speakers in which HBS Women get the opportunity to hear from female leaders such as former CEOs Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo) and Gina Rometty (IBM).
Diversity, Equity
& Inclusion
The WSA works extensively with our campus partners, fighting to ensure all students have an equitable experience on the HBS campus. We lead initiatives in Equity Research, Allyship, Sexual Assault Prevention, Diversity & Inclusion, and a new initiative to increase female case protagonists. In addition, our network of Women’s Reps helps provides the encouragement, structure, and support to leaders within each section to facilitate frank and open discussions on a variety of issues related to gender inequality.
Alumnae Engagement
The WSA works closely with its alumnae board to provide continuity in the HBS community of women and provide students the resources they need to succeed at HBS and beyond. We host tri-annual meetings with our alumnae board, a mentorship program, and a summer series in over 8 cities to connect alumnae with current and incoming students.
