LBS highlighted Emily Corrigan, a Harvard-educated history major who transitioned to founding tech ventures in Kenya and South Africa and now joins the MBA Class of 2027. Corrigan’s profile emphasizes entrepreneurial experience in emerging markets and the value of ‘founder’s lens’ training in the classroom. Her story illustrates a broader recruitment pattern: business schools are continuing to admit candidates with non-traditional academic backgrounds but demonstrable operational experience in high‑impact contexts. For faculty designing entrepreneurship curricula, Corrigan’s case suggests more focus on building skills for resource-constrained market entry and scaling. Career services should prepare tailored employer conversations for founders and early-stage operators seeking investor introductions and post-MBA scaling roles.
