Class of 2022 Debuts FME Ventures

Listen

What’s the best way for first-year students to learn actual business skills?

At Babson, we think the answer is simple: running a business.

Enter Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME), an internationally recognized yearlong course where first-year students team up to create, develop, launch, and manage real ventures.

On February 20, 2019, Babson’s class of 2022 showcased their FME products and services at the annual FME Expo. Ventures ranged from services designed to make campus life easier, to products that promote environmental sustainability or school spirit. Get to know this year’s businesses, the products they’re selling, and the causes they’re promoting, in our gallery below.
