Regular readers of Colloquy will notice that this issue has a new look and additional features.

Give to Harvard Griffin GSAS

Stacy Dick began his Harvard journey as an economics undergraduate who developed close relationships with senior faculty. It was their advice that led him to pursue an interdisciplinary degree in business and economics through GSAS, and as a graduate student, he was particularly struck by his “all-star” peers. “Some of my fellow students were among the most gifted people I’ve ever met.” He now urges new graduates to maintain these vital connections to their graduate school networks. Dick went on to lead a dual career in finance and teaching, serving as the chief financial officer of Julian Robertson Holdings and as an adjunct professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and Law School. His graduate experience still regularly influences both enterprises.
