By Kelvin Ha: Hakone Open Art Museum is situated in the beautiful outskirts in Hakone, Kanagawa. Opened in 1969, the museum is the first open-air art museum in Japan. With a focus on sculptures, the 70,000 square-meter museum features over 100 pieces of local and international artwork. Of the artwork, the museum has one of…
By Michèle Oshima: When it is arctic outside, there are various indoor pursuits that transport one away. Counter-intuitively, I’ve virtually travelled to other cold places, Denmark and Sweden this January. I must confess I’ve been bitten bad by the Norse Noir TV series (The Bridge), all 3 seasons of The Killing, and Borgen. I’ve been…
By Roxelane Wagner: Wonder if everyone on campus is aware of the band room’s existence in Park Manor Central. I know I discovered it by chance around the end of October. While I was hanging out on the first floor, I suddenly heard loud music that was not coming from anyone’s room. I was informed…
By Sarah-Lizz Myers: How many of us left our instruments at home to collect dust, because we never imagined in a thousand years we would want to play, let allow have time to play, here at Babson College? As a freshman, I didn’t think I would ever have time to do anything but study and…

I love Bread and Puppet’s work, which combines global current events and politics with live action, puppetry and…

It was fascinating for me to see which artists…
It’s easy to feel encumbered by data. We consume it 14 hours a day, we use it to decide where to eat dinner, we analyze it for our businesses, and we mine it to create a sense of prediction in an increasingly unpredictable world. For my new start-up, MoodSnap, an image-based music discovery application, data…
By Youxi (Lisa) Chen: For those of you who are unfamiliar with AMAN, it is Babson’s largest student cultural organization for Southeast Asian countries and cultures. Every semester AMAN hosts performances that feature many Southeast Asian students at Babson. And this may sound strange, but I, 100% Chinese, was also part of the AMAN show…
By Abby Vargas: Most college students will probably agree with me when I say that we always welcome free stuff. Free shirts at Reynolds? I’ll be first in line. Free food from the Asian Organization? Sign me up! Free stuff is a nice present and allows for more money in my Lemon Thai budget. I…
