The academic year is almost here, which means summer is officially coming to a close.

With the close of a Babson summer comes the end of the College’s annual Summer Receptions. From Bermuda to Bangkok and from coast to coast in the United States, Babson alumni, current students, parents, leadership, and friends of the College gathered together to welcome new students and their families in cities far and near.

We’re sharing our favorite photos from this year’s summer receptions in Bermuda, Thailand, China, Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Have a photo from a summer reception to share? Send it to our Alumni and Friends Network.
