Spotlight Survey

Annual MBA Alumni Survey Coming Soon

Last year, HBS launched a major MBA alumni survey program aimed at increasing the School's understanding of its alumni, their career paths, and their HBS experiences. The survey is sent annually to reunion classes and to graduates two years out. The response to last year's survey was outstanding, and results are being used to help shape a variety of the School's programs and services. A similar survey is planned for Executive Education alumni.

This year's MBA survey is being sent to 17 classes (1924, 1929, 1934, 1939, 1944, 1949, 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, and 2002). We hope you will participate when it comes to your inbox or mailbox later this month!
