The Nan Langowitz Women Who Make A Difference Award
Sponsored by the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership, this annual award honors women whose work has had a significant, positive impact on the Babson community in the last year.
This award was first presented in 1995 and began in Student Affairs. The award was originally designed to honor students, faculty, and staff who impacted the lives of Babson’s undergraduate students but has evolved over the years. This award also has been designed to increase the profile of women at Babson and increase the attractiveness of Babson as a community. In addition, the award supports the College’s current goal to extend Babson’s capabilities to the world. There is an event each year during Women’s History Month to honor both the nominees and the winners of this award.

Past award winners have been positive role models who have demonstrated strength, intelligence, and integrity in challenging others to achieve professionally, academically, and personally.
