Join CCD and Rub Elbows with Cambridge Start Ups
Interested in connecting with entrepreneurs in one of the most heralded startup hubs in the world? On March 27, CCD will host a select group of students to visit entrepreneurs in Central and Kendall Squares, where we will meet with Devin Cole, Director of Business Development at the Workbar Network and Anna Whitlock, Head of Talent Acquisition at Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC). Open to all four undergraduate class years (1st years, sophs, jrs & srs!), the trek is designed to educate students on entrepreneurial careers and start up endeavors. It’s a chance for you to meet representatives and alums from these start ups to build your own connections. Application deadline is March 16th at midnight — so before you leave for spring break — apply now — go to the Career Connections home page (accessed through the HUB) and search “Cambridge Start Up Trek” to find the application. Contact me at bkostyk@babson.edu with any questions. Hope to see you there!
