The continuing mission of Harvard University's Graduate School of Business Administration, founded in 1908, is to train general managers.

This mission is enhanced by its local alumni clubs that give their members the opportunity to participate, learn, socialize, and network through a variety of activities each year.

During the past seventy years, the Harvard Business School Club of Michigan (formerly the Harvard Business School Club of Detroit) has offered its members diverse activities including:

• opportunities to meet local and national business and civic leaders
• tours of local organizations
• social events

Club members work with students of all ages to interest them in careers in business, as well as raise scholarship funds for local students to attend Harvard Business School.

The club has also setup a scholarship fund for Executive Director’s of various Michigan non-profit organizations who, in recognition of their outstanding service, have been given the opportunity to attend “Strategic Perspectives for Non-Profit Management,” an intensive six-day course presented each summer at the Harvard Business School.
