My colleague, Kathy Smith, who plans many of our events on campus and around the globe, reports back on Dean Lamb’s recent events below. En route to this weekend’s Babson Connect Worldwide 2017 in Bangkok, Will Lamb, Dean of the F.W. Olin School of Business, stopped for a few dinners. He wasn’t just sampling the delicious…
My colleagues Johanna Beers and Mary Beth Crook worked closely with a recent graduate, Abby Speicher, while she was an MBA student and wanted to share her venture’s recent accomplishments in the blog post below. On Friday, February 24th, many Babson community members were glued to their televisions to watch Abby Speicher, a 2015 Two-Year…
As part of my two-year MBA experience, my classmates and I went on what seems to be now, a traditional, annual India trip for the second-year students at Babson. This is the second year running that Babson students have done an India trip. Seventy people (that’s right 7-0) and seventeen days full of laughter, bellies…
Maria Cristina Cruz graduated from Babson College’s Two Year MBA program in 2015. As a student from Venezuela, she understood there would be many challenges to finding a job in the U.S. Through hard work, early preparation, and the right networking approach she was able to land a job in the U.S. Although she did not…
During my time in Babson’s MBA program, I’ve spoken to several different potential students about my experience here, my advice for their interviews, and what they can expect once they step through those doors. One thing that always comes up, and that I too was curious about before I started, is the experiential learning opportunities…

Last week I had the opportunity to attend my first Babson Connect (New York City). For those of you who don’t know, Babson Connect is a networking event that can also have an educational component. It is a great way for alumni and current students to connect with others from both the undergraduate and graduate…
The Graduate Admissions team had a wonderful year getting to know so many innovative students, both by travelling abroad and welcoming students to our campuses in Wellesley, Boston, and San Francisco. As we wrap up 2016, we looked back at some of our favorite events of the past year: Babson Boston Opening- This past Fall,…
This year’s National Association of Women MBAs (NAWMBA) annual conference was held in Stamford, CT. The official theme was Connecting with Confidence, but the message I took away was much more profound than some well-worn networking tips and tricks. Jodi Glickman– author, entrepreneur, and professional coach- spoke at one of the sessions during the first…
Long before the poll results were announced, before our students began to rally behind one another to recover from an election gone wrong, two of our very own were planning an event that would disrupt “business as usual” here on campus – in the best way possible. Flora Ekpe-Idang and Mark Gagliardi, both full-time students…
