Mission

The Harvard International Business Club (HIB) is a pre-professional organization that enhances the understanding of issues related to international business and promotes international career opportunities among members of the Harvard community. The organization is officially recognized by Harvard University and maintains close ties with the Office of Careers Services as well as other student groups at the Harvard Business School.

In an effort to expose students to international business opportunities and current issues, HIB hosts several case studies, speakers, panel events, and roundtable discussions. These events offer students resources to explore and to pursue internships and full-time jobs in any country ranging from China to Saudi Arabia. Additionally, HIB hosts International Careers Business Week that offer plentiful opportunities to network with companies, speak with professionals, and to gain greater business knowledge of specific countries. HIB has worked with top investment banks and consulting companies as well as other non-traditional businesses to host a variety of events.

HIB is continuously expanding its relationships with various multinational and international companies that visit campus annually. This year, HIB is taking the initiative to launch its first Asia Trek trip to meet with various professionals and firms. The organization intends to coordinate and execute an annual trip to each region of the world to truly offer students the opportunity to work in a foreign country.

The student organization is divided into five regions to cater to the specific interests of our members: Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. Each region is led by a Vice President who works closely with his or her managers to coordinate and to organize the ongoing events occurring throughout the year. Members of HIB, therefore, gain strong leadership skills and the ability to be comfortable with team settings, publicity, marketing, and design.

As a rapidly growing student group, HIB offers its members the room to be creative and innovative in order to act as the resource for international business careers. HIB aspires to continue developing its mission by working closely with companies all over the world and through corporate sponsorship.
