Transition to Summer

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…

I jinxed it!

After my blog post on Friday about running in the springlike weather, New England experienced a big snowstorm this past weekend.  It had so much impact, in fact, that Babson was closed on Monday! Now, I have to run on the dreadmill all week as the sidewalks are covered in snow…… P.S. I did a…
