Alumni Network Ranking Shows the Power of Entrepreneurship
Babson College is the intellectual capital of entrepreneurial leadership with groundbreaking scholarly research, extensive courses, and market-facing programming. While Wellesley, Massachusetts, is the educational hub, the Babson community of entrepreneurial leaders spans the globe. Our alumni impact economies and societies in more than 125 countries, improving lives everywhere.
As this expansive reach increases and our influence intensifies, the Babson network grows even stronger.
Our recent recognition from LinkedIn as the No. 1 strongest alumni network in the United States illustrates our community’s common bonds. When new families join us on campus, they become immersed in our ecosystem of passionate, supportive entrepreneurial leaders who grow as individuals, lead organizations, and build strong communities. That support often starts with alumni connecting current students with internships, hiring our newest graduates, and sharing their successes with the professors who inspired them to launch their careers, grow companies, and start new businesses.

In addition to receiving our LinkedIn recognitions—which include No. 1 rankings for most alumni who become founders, most alumni working internationally, and most alumni fueling business development careers—Babson also earned The Wall Street Journal’s distinction of No. 2 Best College in the United States for the second consecutive year.
These stellar acknowledgements provide a clear testament to the transformative power of entrepreneurship—not just as a business discipline but as a catalyst for change. Babson alumni show the world that entrepreneurial leadership is essential in every field, every sector, and every community. Alumni are flexing their networking muscle around the world.
For entrepreneurial leaders, that connection is important. The relationships we make and strengthen on our journeys to success are central to the entrepreneurial process. Connection to family, teachers, friends, mentors, and partners reminds us that our internal compass directs the entrepreneurial leader to improve the human condition.
From the network that helps entrepreneurs cook up and serve new food ventures to the collective research opportunities in the Honors Program to the celebrations of athletic successes, Babson’s community building is on full display in this issue of Babson Magazine.
I hope you find their stories as enriching as I do. And I hope you take pride in and ownership of our community’s achievements.
