One thing that always comes up, and that I too was curious about before I started, is the experiential learning opportunities…
Traveling abroad was an important factor when I was choosing an MBA program. If the school didn’t offer some sort of international experience, it was taken off of my list. You hear it all the time: Companies want globally-minded candidates. We’re in an international economy; our businesses can no longer effectively operate in a local…

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.
