To help build community and drive change, Babson students, staff, and faculty plan educational events that celebrate and support diverse identities as well as provide space for challenging conversations. This is another way that entrepreneurial leadership helps build strong communities.
The things we do individually tend to cause a ripple effect in the world around us, so if we take the time to more thoroughly understand people before making assumptions about what they are or aren’t, it creates the opportunity for everyone to have a seat at the table.
Each year, Babson hosts a wide range of signature events around the diverse identities of our community.
Babson welcomes world-renowned opera soprano and entrepreneur Karen Slack as our new Artist in Residence, beginning with a multi-day residency on March 19, including workshops, talks and her critically acclaimed recital, Of Thee I Sing! Songs of Love and Justice on March 22.
