Well, it’s official. Way back in May of 2008 we reported that the nine graduate schools at Harvard, including Harvard Business School ( Harvard Full-Time MBA Profile ), were considering a pretty dramatic change to the academic calendar: the addition of a short “January term” shoehorned between the fall and spring terms. The “J-Term,” as it’s affectionately known, is now officially underway, HBS announced today

This really has nothing to do with business school or MBA programs, but good news being in such short supply these days I couldn’t resist. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) is reporting what appears to be a turnaround in the job market for new college graduates.
The dreary economy and weak job market doesn’t seem to be dampening people’s desire to go to business school, according to the latest figures from the Graduate Management Admission Council, administrator of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). The number of GMAT exams administered in 2009 hit 267,000, just slightly eclipsing the 264,700 given in 2008. That’s an all-time high and the largest number of tests GMAT ever administered in one testing year, even though it’s just an uptick of 2,300 exams over last year.

On the heels of Harvard Business School’s announcement last week that Dean Jay Light would be retiring, Edward Snyder, dean of University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business announced today that he will be stepping down from his post, effective June 30, 2010. In his ten years as dean at Booth, Snyder has overseen the move of the business school into a new facility and has worked hard to enhance his school’s presence and impact globally. As part of this vision, Snyder announced a $300 million gift from alumnus David Booth late last year and renamed the school in Booth’s honor
