Welcome to the HBSSA website!

This website will be our primary tool of communication for the Club as we look to raise our profile and impact in the South African HBS community and beyond.

2011 has been a strong year for HBSSA. We hosted several events to include guest lectures from visiting professors and business persons from South Africa. In addition we teamed up on several events with our sister club – the Harvard University Alumni Association of South Africa. As well, we established the club’s involvement in the Alumni New Venture Contest and sent a finalist from South Africa in 2011 to the HBS campus finals last Spring. We finished off the year hosting 61 HBS students in Capetown for their FIELD program.

For 2012 we hope that the club can provide an interesting means of connection with fellow alumni. We want the HBS network to work for us! We will use this website to enhance dialogue with the members of our community and beyond – to share ideas, events and modes of collaboration.  Our schedule of events and announcements shall be posted on this site as well.

Plans for the year already include guest lectures from visiting professors, a networking evening, the Alumni New Venture Contest and webinars hosted by career services. Stay tuned for dates and the yearly schedule of events. Anyone interested in getting involved with the club in an officer type of capacity, please let the existing officers know.

We look forward to this exciting year for the club and your participation!

Sincerely,
The Officers of the HBS Alumni Club of South Africa
