Harvard Student Agencies

So, you think you know what it's like to be a Harvard student? Think again! Harvard Student Agencies (HSA) is the largest student-run company in the world, and it's been around since 1957.

It all started with a small group of students who wanted to create a business that would give them some real-world experience. Fast forward to today, and HSA has become a multi-million dollar company with over 600 student employees.

What They Do

HSA is made up of 14 different agencies, each with its own unique mission. From tutoring services to test prep, and even a full-service advertising agency, these students are doing it all. They're like a mini-conglomerate, but with better coffee and more all-nighters.

One of the most popular agencies is HSA Cleaners, which offers eco-friendly laundry services to students and faculty. Who wouldn't want their laundry done by a Harvard student? It's like having your own personal laundry butler.

But HSA isn't just about making money (although, let's be real, that's a big part of it). It's also about giving back to the community. Many of the agencies offer discounted services to non-profits and other organizations in need.

The Perks

So, what's it like to work for HSA? Perks abound! Students get to gain real-world experience, build their resume, and even make some money (which, let's be real, is always a bonus). Plus, they get to be part of a super cool community of like-minded students.

And the best part? No experience necessary! HSA is all about learning as you go, so even if you have no idea what you're doing (yet), you can still join the team. It's like a real-world MBA program, but without the hefty price tag.

From ice cream tastings to UNUSED gadget testing, HSA students get to experience all sorts of fun and quirky things. Who knows, you might just stumble upon your dream job (or at least, a really cool hobby).

The Future

So, what's next for HSA? Big things, that's what! With new agencies popping up all the time, the possibilities are endless. Maybe one day, HSA will even go global (a student can dream, right?).

For now, though, HSA remains a beloved Harvard institution. It's a launchpad for student entrepreneurs, a testing ground for new ideas, and a community of like-minded students who are all about making a difference.

And who knows, maybe one day you'll be a part of it all. After all, anyone can join (even if you're not a Harvard student... just kidding, that's a major requirement). But seriously, HSA is all about empowering students to be their best selves, and that's something we can all get behind.
