Changing Student Life
"I'm actually an abstract artist," Jaja Jackson (MBA '99) told the Boston Globe (November 27, 2000), "but you know what? I was forced to go to school." That education — Harvard College, followed by a job at McKinsey, and then HBS — has paid off. Jackson is cofounder and president of Mascot Network, Inc., whose online "Campus in a Click" intranet services provide cost-effective, interactive communication for all people associated with an institution of higher learning. "We're changing student life," Jackson explained. "You remember walking around campus and seeing signs on posts or blowing around all over the place? It's clubs, it's all the things happening on your campus. We invented this service to put all this online." Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Mascot Network, whose cofounder and chief strategy officer is Jason Palmer (MBA '99), aims to improve communication between administrators and students and to enable students to explore academic topics, access information, and connect with peers. It currently serves some 600,000 students at ninety institutions.
