Celebrating the Graduates of Cultivate Small Business

Babson, Santander Bank, CommonWealth Kitchen and the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City celebrated the graduates of the second cohort of Cultivate Small Business on April 23, led by Vice Provost of Global Entrepreneurial Leadership Candida Brush. Entrepreneurs presented action plans and pitches they grew during the class, which empowers women, minority, and immigrant-owned businesses and equips early-stage entrepreneurs with the tools needed for success in the food business.

History professor Marjorie Feld was selected as the Goldstein Goren Fellow at New York University’s Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies. Feld, who will begin a full-year sabbatical from Babson this fall, is a member of the Academic Advisory Councils of the Jewish Women’s Archive, the American Jewish Historical Society, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
