Tyra Banks is still talking about Harvard!

The America's Next Top Model hostess attended her Harvard Business School reunion on Sunday, and while she was there, she couldn't help but share her day with all her tweeps.

Tyra chirped:

Harvard Business School reunion weekend. Feels so good to be back with my OPM family! #HBSReunion twitter.com/tyrabanks/stat…

— Tyra Banks (@tyrabanks) October 14, 2012

Throughout the day Tyra continued to share pictures of her smizing self posing with her classmates.

Wonder if she taught them how to smize or booty tooch?

Ha!

Check out more pics of the smart cookie that is Tyra (below)!

Vogue Italia's editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani joined supermodel Doutzen Kroes, media mogul Arianna Huffington and Amber Valletta at Harvard University on Monday to talk about body image in the media.

During the discussion, Sozzani, a long-time proponent of healthy body image, flat out blamed fashion as "one of the causes of anorexia".

This can’t be right… Who knew the color pink wasn’t that popular?

A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review reveals that the pink ribbons used for Breast Cancer Awareness might not be all that effective simply because of the color.

The color pink is a gender cue which can trigger a "defensive response" among women.

The study reports:

“When women wrote an essay about gender, just 42% of them said they would donate to ovarian cancer research. When they wrote a gender-neutral essay, 77% did. And those who saw a pink ad about breast cancer were significantly less likely to say that they’d contract the disease than those who saw an ad with neutral colors. We thought, “This can’t be right.” So we kept running studies.

We looked at the effects of gender cues on women’s recall. We put breast cancer banner ads on a website we showed the subjects but never mentioned them. When the site was geared to women, 33% of women recalled the ads. When it was gender-neutral, 65% remembered. It’s been three years, and we have duplicated the same basic finding 10 times. It keeps happening.”

Though to be clear, the study found that it’s not the color itself but the fact that the color is a gender cue that triggers the response.

Last month we told you Tyra Banks was attending Harvard University.

The business mogul enrolled in the school’s Executive Education Owner/President Management Program.

And during a recent taping with Jimmy Fallon, Tyra opens up about her college life and living at the dorms!

She reveals:

"We do live in dorms. I have my own room. So I have my own bedroom but we share a kitchen, a living room, a study area. It's mandatory dorms. I freaked out in the beginning.

I was like, 'Oh yes, I'm going to Harvard and I'll be at the Four Seasons down the street.' And they were like, 'Girl, you're going to be living in dorms.'

I was like, 'What?' I freaked, freaked, freaked out. And now I wouldn't have it any other way. It's like summer camp!"

We're glad that two big names in fashion are speaking up about such an important issue!

Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour and designer Michael Kors were on the list of speakers at the 13th Annual Public Forum presented by the Harris Center at Massachusetts General Hospital held at the Harvard Business School.

Entitled “Health Matters: Weight and Wellness in the World of Fashion,” the forum addressed the actions being taken to reduce weight issues and eating disorders in models.

Wintour specifically brought up the positive strides the industry has been making to ensure models' health including setting minimum age requirements, banning booze and tobacco backstage during fashion shows as well as fewer hours for younger models.

"We are all responsible for the models' health," she declared in her speech.

Michael Kors further addressed the age issue in models demanding that their age "really has to become a priority" and that "we need to give these girls a chance to grow up." Kors reinforced this idea by promising not to use models under the age of 16 in his own shows.

Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova spoke up as a model herself and dealing with anorexia, making the very sad and honest statement: “It is very hard to have a feeling of stability. Anorexia is sometimes the only form of control these girls have."

What an unfortunate reality, but one that we hope will change very soon especially since the fashion industry is taking note of these major problems in the modeling world. The forum ended on a positive and hopeful note as Vodianova puts it:

"It's in fashion now to be healthy."

We couldn't agree more!
