Parents as Partners

Staying Connected to Babson

There are a variety of programs that keep parents connected to Babson long after Orientation ends. Each fall, the Office of Campus Life hosts Family and Friends Weekend, a three-day event full of on- and off-campus social activities, athletic events, and student performances.

In partnership with the College’s Advancement Division, regional and on-campus events also are held throughout the year. Parents and families are welcome at many of the alumni events listed at Alumni Events. When visiting campus for events or family visits, the most convenient and affordable option is staying on campus at the Babson Executive Conference Center with reservations available online.

Babson is fortunate to have a strong tradition of support and involvement from parents who give generously of their time, financial resources, and expertise. Some Babson parents become involved in the life of the College through The Fund for Babson, as volunteers for Babson events both on and off campus, as hosts for regional receptions, or through assisting with mentoring, internship, and employment opportunities for Babson students. ​Each gift to The Fund for Babson supports the College's top three priorities: scholarships and fellowships, faculty excellence, and student life. In addition, all gifts to The Fund for Babson count toward The Babson Rising Campaign.
