On July 18, the HBS Club of Shanghai hosted a warm sendoff for the incoming HBS Class of 2027. The event was held at the home of James Kralik (Harvard College 1986, HBS 1990) and Yunli Lou (Harvard College 1991), bringing together around 25 new admits and recent alumni. James and Yunli also reflected on their Harvard experiences, the importance of continued U.S.-China dialogue in today’s complex global environment, and their hopes for the next generation of Chinese students. Guests introduced themselves, engaged in lively conversations, exchanged candid advice on navigating HBS, and began building connections across HBS classes. With friendships sparked and perspectives shared, the sendoff marked a meaningful start to the Class of 2027’s journey into the HBS community.
