President's Office
Message from the President
We invite you to visit us often—online and on our campus. Either way, it won’t take you long to discover that Babson is truly a unique school. We are not only the best at what we do—we are the only college or university in the world that does what we do. Babson is the only institution with an environment that attracts people from around the world focused on the passionate pursuit of using entrepreneurship in all kinds of settings to create economic and social value everywhere:
From the moment students arrive on campus, they are immersed in an action-oriented academic experience where thinking and doing are both considered important parts of the learning process. A curriculum focused on real-world issues engages students in creative work across disciplines.
For both undergraduate and graduate students, co-curricular activities are a valued part of their overall Babson education. Opportunities abound to live the values of social, environmental, and economic responsibility and sustainability, as well as to learn and explore with people who have similar passions but who bring a variety of perspectives from different cultures.
Faculty and staff are committed to working together to create a dynamic environment—empowering students to take ownership of initiatives both inside and outside the classroom.
This unique environment not only prepares our students to make a difference after they graduate—they actually make a difference while they are here. They start for-profit and not-for-profit ventures, create new service projects and student organizations, and take positive action that reach well beyond the campus. Our network of alumni and friends in all regions of the world, through their close connections to students and the College, extend the impact of what can be accomplished.
Please take some time to explore the website and learn more about our college and community. Visit our campus if you can: there is simply no substitute for experiencing Babson firsthand and seeing for yourself what makes this school so extraordinary.
Leonard A. Schlesinger
President, Babson College
