"Being part of the F&E CWEL Circles program was an integral part of my final year as a Babson MBA student. The unique setting which allows for active participation provided me with the opportunity to tailor each circle, no matter the theme, to my own personal and professional development. Each evening, I left with a renewed sense of confidence and new connections, some of which have now grown into invaluable mentorship opportunities."

-Alexandra Tapley, MBA’19
