Former Tiger Cub Chris Shumway is helping Harvard University prepare a new breed of MBAs, equally at ease on Wall Street and in the laboratory.
With a $25 million gift, Shumway and wife Carrie are supporting the joint life sciences MS/MBA program at Harvard Business School that took its first 11 students in August. Three-quarters of the class is women; all were life sciences majors, and many have worked in the field.
