So here we are, about half way through the Fall semester at Babson!  The campus is gorgeous with the New England fall leaves dusting the ground and the air getting crispy and cooler by the hour.  This weekend is FALL WEEKEND, one of the highlight weekends of the year, as Babson students flock to a [...]

As much as I love working with my students and at Babson, I have to admit that vacation is awesome.  Last week, my husband and I went to Nantucket.  For those of you non-New Englanders, it is a small island off the coast of Massachusetts. It is our most favorite place to vacation; we even named [...]

A significant part of the college experience is taking advantage of the vast array of opportunities available to students outside of the classroom. At Babson, our students participate in nearly 80 clubs and organizations, 22 varsity athletic teams, countless club and intramural sports teams, and an increasing number of on-campus activities each week.

At our recent on-campus program for admitted students, Alex Sousa, a graduating senior, gave the welcoming address to our visitors. Throughout his time at Babson, Alex has developed as an entrepreneur and as a student of the world, working and traveling extensively in several developing regions in Africa. His involvement with a Babson MCFE project [...]

Ok so you have definitely heard about our school having the “plague” (the norovirus is actually just a bad stomach bug). We had over a hundred students sick and even some faculty and staff. However, being close down sounded like a bad thing to everyone…well…let me tell you how I saw it. We had facilities [...]
