Babson Posse Scholars Celebrated in Sendoff

Listen

Members of the graduating Posse 12 cohort were celebrated for their accomplishments and journey in a special ceremony the evening before Babson’s Centennial Commencement.

The Babson-Posse Foundation partnership was established more than 15 years ago. Through the program, a handful of students with academic and leadership potential are recruited from a pool of more than 3,000 New York City public high school students.

Mentor Marjorie Feld, a professor of history, offered a personal wish to each member of the Posse 12 at the ceremony before congratulating the group.

“I am so proud of you, and I wish for you all the good things you deserve in the years to come,” she said.
