Editor's Notes
- #3 Babson trains students to have the knowledge and confidence to determine and take the first step when facing any challenge. Babson teaching students to see the world differently and have the ability to see space for opportunity – in any kind of organization and industry. Talk about: What happens in the classroom, outside the classroom – You’ll know how to do/be all these things: collaborative/entrepreneurial/creative/experiential/integrative/ethical and social responsible perspective/global perspective – “white space” Employers value the ability to think entrepreneurially, deal with ambiguity, and face challenges with confidence.
- #6 Faculty are all experienced in their fields. They are known for their accessibility and engagement with students. Babson’s culture is high touch - supportive and engaged Student’s receive support from Graduate programs throughout their academic experience.
