Akwaaba! That is how you say “Welcome” in the Ashanti Twi language, which is spoken in Ghana. To keep everyone updated, after the holidays I travelled with fifty Babson students and faculty to Accra, Sekondi, and Takoradi. We each paired off at different schools to teach high school students about Entrepreneurship and how they can…
Babson strongly enforces its curriculum of fifty percent business courses and fifty percent liberal arts courses, and I can certainly attest to this. Just last Monday in my Poetry class, we did an interesting activity I would like to share. Each student writes on average, one poem a week. We are assigned a specific format,…
Ahhh…I know I have fallen behind with my blogging as of late, but it seems like my semester has gone from 0 mph to 60 mph during these last couple of weeks. In the world of academia, my professors have started to hand back the papers that I have written and are throwing out words…

Hiiii, This past week was when I realized that although I have had a ton of fun the first couple weeks of school, and literally no stress, I have to do work now. I really think my schedule always gets dominated by me trying to fit in going to guest speakers, school events, and celebrating…
Hi everybody! We are now officially halfway through the third week back at school and I am happy to report that it is as busy and fun as ever! For those of you who don’t yet know me, my name is Lauryn Sherman and I’m a senior from San Diego, California. I’m working in the…
Hi! My name is Renee Barton and I am a senior here at Babson College. I cannot believe that 4 years ago I was in the same boat as you guys! Senior year of high school was just getting started, college applications were laying about the house waiting to be filled out, and there were…
We’re almost done with the 3rd week of the semester already! Time is flying by and I feel as though I’ve only just gotten back from winter vacation! It’s never a dull moment on campus, and its especially true of the spring semester for me. Only a few days after returning to campus I was…
