Summer Activity Embodies How Babson Impacts Communities Everywhere

Summers at Babson play an integral role in advancing our mission and strategy. All year, we empower entrepreneurial leaders to impact communities everywhere. But, in the summer months, our scenic Wellesley campus comes alive in new ways as we welcome scores of entrepreneurship students, educators, and professionals from Babson and beyond for an array of innovative and empowering programs. 

This summer brought students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country to immerse themselves in Babson’s curriculum through a first-of-its-kind Babson Build cohort. Educators and thought leaders from around the world gathered for the Price-Babson Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators to renew their entrepreneurial mindset, methodology, and pedagogy. And, academics and practitioners convened to explore the latest cutting-edge empirical research in the field of entrepreneurship for the 45th Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Program & Conference.

These are just a few of the many highlights on our campus that perfectly embody the “everywhere” component of our mission. At Babson, we believe that “everywhere” goes far beyond the geographic scope. “Everywhere” is not solely a global approach, but rather a mindset that removes barriers or limits on where and how we teach, learn, and lead. 

Accelerating this mindset is central to our strategy. The global demand for a Babson education is exceptional and growing. Yet the headwinds facing our industry necessitate that higher education institutions remain nimble and unafraid to seek new markets and learner populations—the perfect environment for entrepreneurs to succeed.    

New executive education offerings, hybrid and asynchronous programs, stackable certificates, and non-degree credentials strengthen Babson’s strategic approach to entrepreneurship and business education. Importantly, we have broken ground on our new Executive Lodge and Conference Center to further accelerate our lifelong-learning initiatives.     

Spurring entrepreneurial growth everywhere isn’t just strategic—it’s smart business. Summers on campus, as you will see in this issue of Babson Magazine, are anything but typical. They’re an important component of our global entrepreneurial ecosystem.
