Listen

As the Centennial year came to a successful conclusion, the Babson community welcomed in a new century at events that spanned the world—from New York to Dallas to San Francisco to Mumbai, India—demonstrating how the College’s network and impact extend well beyond one campus in Wellesley, Massachusetts.


The Babson Alumni Club of India hosted alumni and current parents for a cocktail reception February 10 (above) at Town Hall Mumbai, owned by Babson alumni Randeep Bajaj ’07 and Vaibhav Vohra ’08.
