social value—everywhere.”
4. Vision Statement
• “We want to be the preeminent institution in
the world for Entrepreneurial Thought and
Action®—and known for it. We want to
expand the notion of entrepreneurship to
embrace and celebrate entrepreneurs of all
kinds. We want to put the power of
entrepreneurship as a force for economic and
social value creation in as many hands in the
world as we can.”
5. Experiential Learning
• “Believing experience to be the best teacher,
Roger Babson favored a combination of class
work and actual business training. Seasoned
businessmen made up the majority of the
faculty. To better prepare students for the
realities of the business world, the Institute's
curriculum focused more on practical
experience and less on lectures. Students
worked on group projects and class
presentations, observed manufacturing
processes during field trips to area factories
and businesses, met with managers and
executives, and viewed industrial films on
Saturday mornings.”
6. Questions
• Should all colleges require real world
experience such a practicums/ internships?
• How college encourage students to give back
to institutions and individuals that help
provide valuable work experience?
