"One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that heading into the face of uncertain and being unafraid to blaze new trails is what being an entrepreneur is all about. Babson has prepared us for whatever comes our way and I’ve never been more grateful to have been part of such a strong community. Let’s continue to lead the word in entrepreneurial education together." - Adeline Rodrigues ‘20

What you all have provided for me are conditions for me to thrive wherever I am and I am so thankful for that…I feel inspired to give back to the community the same way they gave to me." - Rafael Matsumura de Oliveira ‘21
"Thank you, Babson College, for having the best professors. The professors who taught me how to navigate through uncertain and difficult times, who gave their best to maintain the quality of education no matter where we are, who innovated, who put entrepreneurial thought and action in every class no matter what the subject was. They taught me how to face not only my career with ET&A but also my life...Thank you, Babson MBA generation, 2020. Today I have realized, Babson, In the last two years you were not part of my life, you were my life." - Christian Leiva MBA’20

Choose faith over fear and remember that this too is temporary." - Alejandro Souza ‘09

"I'm making my contribution in honor of Cheska Mauban '15. Cheska is one of my mentees/Posse Scholars. Cheska never needed to access these kind of emergency funds while she was at Babson, but if she had, they would have been there, and that's one of the many things that makes Babson so ultra-special. As a faculty member here for nearly 20 years, I can attest that if ever a student has come to me with emergency resources issues, I've been able to direct to a colleague in financial aid and make it happen. Thanks for considering a donation, however small, to this fund. It can mean the difference between chaos and stability for a young person on the edge of their life" - Elizabeth Swanson, Faculty
"What the world needs are more Elizabeth Swansons. More loving, thoughtful, and generous people. If you're lucky maybe they'll even volunteer to mentor you. So, I'll flip the switch here and dedicate my #onebabson campaign post to my mentor who has fought for me, my posse and every single student she's crossed paths with. Stay safe and strong." - Cheska Mauban '15
"Thank you for being a community that inspires care for each other." - Anonymous student
