Emily Rosado-Solomon

  • Assistant Professor
Academic Division: Management
Emily Rosado-Solomon is an Assistant Professor of Management at Babson College. She received her PhD in Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management from Rutgers University, and served on the faculty of California State University - Long Beach prior to teaching at Babson.

Emily's research falls into two primary areas. Her main research focus is on mental health challenges and work, with an emphasis on the experiences of people with mental illness in the workplace. Emily's other research stream examines interpersonal connections in the workplace, investigating how interactions between employees shape their work experience. Her work has been published in prestigious peer-revised journals such as Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, and Academy of Management Annals, and has been presented at national and international conferences.

Her teaching at Babson is primarily in the Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME) course, where she teaches management and organizational behavior topics to undergraduate students as they create their own business ventures. Throughout her career, she has also taught courses in diversity management, human resource management, and related topics at both the graduate and undergraduate level.

Prior to entering academia, Emily was a professional pastry chef, graduating from the Culinary Institute of America (Hyde Park) and working in high-end restaurants, bakeries, and a hotel.
