Welcome to the Haas Community!
Class of 2027,
On behalf of the EMBA Classes of 2025 and 2026, welcome to the Berkeley Haas family! We are eager to meet you all and are honored to have you as part of our EMBA network for life.
Celebrate this success
First and foremost, take a moment to congratulate yourself on being accepted into this program! It is a notable accomplishment in itself and you should be proud. Soak in this special, expectant time and prepare your hearts and minds for the months ahead and those who are about to enter your life. We are confident you will be assured over and over again that you’ve made an excellent investment in yourself and your future, it’s true!
Meet the EMBA Classes of 2025 and 2026
We are cohorts committed to living out the defining leadership principles and bringing a growth mindset to the experiences and interactions this program affords us. We continuously better ourselves as individuals through our class culture and community. We celebrate and encourage one another, make all voices heard, and ensure no one gets left behind.
The EMBA Student Leadership consists of appointed and elected officers who serve as class representatives across a variety of areas such as Academics, Philanthropy, and Career Resources. EMBA Student Leadership is an integral part of student life at Haas. Our goal is to continuously improve the Haas experience and ensure the needs of all students are met.
We are here to help
It was not long ago we were in your shoes - anxious to dive in, wrestling with a number of questions and uncertainties, and aiming to set ourselves up for success as we anticipated the start of the program. Please lean on our class as a resource! Below we’ve outlined a few specific ways you can do that.
Looking ahead
Here are a few recommendations from our classes on various ways we prepared for the program in the months between admission and Orientation:
- Join the #ask_current_students_2027 Slack channel as soon as you get the invite - this is a great space to ask our EMBA25 Student Leadership specific questions and see responses to questions your fellow classmates have asked.
- Connect with a current student by reaching out to the EMBA25 and EMBA26 Admissions VPs at the above channel or find our direct contact information here.
- Start setting yourself up for success by preparing the people and responsibilities in your life for the time and energy commitment you will be investing in this program, attending the Block Zero workshops, and/or participating in the optional quantitative prep course.
- Connect with each other! [#meet-your-class-2027 Slack channel] At the end of the day, the EMBA27 class experience will depend largely on what you collectively make it, and it starts now with you!
We look forward to getting to know each of you better and seeing you at Orientation in July!
Sincerely,
EMBA25 and EMBA26 Student Leadership
