We are thrilled to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Institute. We've grown from a one-person team with a very small constituency to our current team of seven with a wide range of programs, events, and services for nearly 6,000 students, alumni, and families. We look forward to continuing to grow the BIFE and connecting and empowering entrepreneurs.
We marked this milestone with an event to recognize all our accomplishments and to celebrate the contribution of Advisory Board Chair, Stephen Martiros’ wisdom and guidance. Members of the Babson Community also heard from faculty, staff, and a student panel to commemorate this exciting accomplishment.
