News, Notes, and Nods: In Memoriam
Management Associate Professor Sydel Sokuvitz died June 25. She spent more than 40 years at Babson College, and was remembered by President Stephen Spinelli Jr. MBA’92, PhD as a “brilliant scholar, beloved teacher, and Babson trailblazer.” Sokuvitz designed programs for global leaders at Babson Executive Education, founded the Speech Resource Center, was named Professor of the Year in 1983, and developed one of Babson’s first fully online course offerings. “She was an intellectual powerhouse who challenged convention and brought energy and fun to historically staid pursuits,” Spinelli said.
