PHOTO ESSAY
Harvard Business School

For the 879 graduates of Harvard Business School's Class of 2000, the future doesn't just look bright, it gleams like the sun streaking across Aldrich Lawn at the school's graduation.

This year's grads are a part of a long and prestigious tradition, following such business greats as Lou Gerstner of IBM and Alfred Zeien of Gillette. Like the 89 Harvard classes that have preceded them, many of this year's grads will take their places in banking, consulting, and marketing. But others will join industries that barely existed a few years ago. And they leave Harvard at a time of unprecedented prosperity, wooed by employers offering mammoth salaries and bonus packages.
Still, on this day, these future chieftains look as nervous and giddy as graduates anywhere, fidgeting as parents or spouses adjust their caps and running to their seats seconds before the ceremony begins. It's fitting that many were pushing strollers or holding the hands of toddlers.
Although it's a time when most have been focused on education and career, Dean Kim B. Clark made the family the focus of his commencement speech. "There is no success in business that can compensate for failure at home. Invest first at home, and think of that as the most important investment in your lives. The most important work you do in your whole lives will be inside the walls of your home."
