Nearly 200 business leaders, diplomats, academic administrators, members, students and friends were on hand to honor the awardees, promote UNA-GB’s
core mission: building a grassroots network of global citizens, and to celebrate the 66th anniversary of the U.N.’s success promoting peace and prosperity.
To celebrate its Global Corporate Citizenship Honor Roll distinction and PRME, Babson will host a reception in the Babson Hall Writing Center on Thursday, February 9, 3:30-4:30 p.m. where a sustainable artwork created by faculty, staff and students during its “30 Days of PRME” last fall, will be unveiled and placed on permanent display.
Goldberg, who is among the campus leaders in Babson’s PRME efforts, holds the Mandell Family Term Chair (2007-2012). She teaches intermediate and advanced courses in international literatures and human rights, Babson's interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities Foundation course, and a summer course in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
