Hi All,
Almost of the students on campus has either left for home or went to some place nice for thanksgiving. The point is, the campus is dead unless you are an athlete of some kind.

For my first blog I will address an issue that is near and dear to all of our hearts. It influences our lives day-in and day-out. We get questions about it here in the Admissions Office all the time. You may pretend that it doesn’t influence your choice of institution of higher learning, but it [...]

Before I worked in college admission, I was a high school teacher for four years.  The end of the school year was bittersweet, as we looked forward to summer and all the joys that it brings, but we as teachers were sad to see our students go.
Now, here at Babson, it is a completely different [...]

Selected students working to develop their entrepreneurial ventures over the summer will be part of a pilot program geared towards accelerating their new venture.
For the first time, a 10-week summer intensive for student entrepreneurs at Babson is being launched.  For selected students, the program will provide work space, mentors, [...]
