The Haas School of Business
is named to honor Walter A.
Haas Sr., a 1910 graduate of
the school and president of
San Francisco-based Levi
Strauss & Co. from 1928 to
1955. The gift naming the
building was donated by his
wife, Elise Stern Haas (a
great-niece of founder Levi
Strauss), and three of his
children. The Haas family
still maintains control of
the firm today.
Haas Student Ambassadors
We are the Haas Student Ambassadors (HSA), the
student voice within the Full-time MBA Admissions
Office. We offer unique, real-life perspectives about
being enrolled in the Berkeley MBA program.
Specifically, our mission is to ensure that all
prospective students’ contact with Haas is informative,
positive, and as interactive as possible. During the
school year, we host a daily information session,
Monday through Friday, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. A
member of the admissions committee is present for a
portion of these sessions to answer admissionsrelated
questions. Prior to the information session,
you can enjoy an hour-long lunch with current
students. To participate, meet in the MBA Admissions
Office at 11:45 a.m. Additionally, with 72 hours
advance notice, we are happy to coordinate classroom
visits for prospective students. For details regarding
our visitation programs, please visit mba.haas.
berkeley.edu/visitation.html.
HSA also conducts interviews and coordinates events
for admitted applicants. We look forward to assisting
you in all stages of the application process and welcome
your questions by phone, e-mail, or in person!

50 Haas School of Business Leading Through Innovation
The best way to know what it’s really like to be a
Berkeley MBA student is to come visit, meet some
students and faculty, and observe a class. Visiting gives
you the chance to learn more about the Haas culture and community,
and to check out the facilities. We strongly encourage this investment
of your time because we know that it can help you decide if the
program is a good fit for you. For details on how we make it easy for
you to explore Haas, visit mba.haas.berkeley.edu/visitation.html.
If you can’t make it to campus, the Full-time MBA Admissions office
also sponsors off-campus information sessions and participates in
MBA Fairs around the world. You’ll hear from school representatives
and, in some sessions, students and recent alumni. To learn about
upcoming events in your area, visit mba.haas.berkeley.edu/events.

participate in chats hosted by MBA admissions throughout the year.
