Shay Hopley Malko (she/her/hers) is the Director of Community Standards at Babson. Shay has worked in higher education for over 10 years professionally. She loves working with students because of her fundamental belief in the power of people’s stories. Shay is committed to equity, empathy, care, and community in her work with students because she believes everyone has a story to tell and that our stories can change the world around us. 

Shay has lived most of her life in Massachusetts (although she has lived as far away as Fargo, North Dakota!), and she is the oldest of five children (including some late middle schoolers and early high schoolers). Shay received a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Business Management and concentration in Women & Gender from Clark University and a master’s degree in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of Connecticut. She is currently a doctoral student in the Higher Education program at the University of Massachusetts Boston. In her free time, she likes to play board games and cook with her partner, hang out and be cozy with her cats, and go on walks with her friends, family, and loved ones.  

Feel free to reach out to Shay with any questions you have about Community Standards, but also feel free to come in to talk more about conflict, interpersonal harm, and contentious conversations/situations. Shay is always happy to have a conversation with students!  

Cheryl M. Lawrence (she/her/hers) joined the Babson community in September of 2023 and currently serves as the Assistant Director for Community Standards.  Cheryl has worked in various roles throughout her time in higher education but has found her (professional) home in Community Standards. In her work, Cheryl strives to help students make meaning of, often, difficult and complex situations, and works with students to find their best path forward for the duration of their time here at Babson.  

A Massachusetts native, Cheryl is originally from Worcester, MA and has yet to find a reason to leave (what can she say, she loves the seasons!). During her formative years, Cheryl was deeply involved with Girls Inc. of Worcester, first as a member and later as an employee. As a member of the Girls Inc. community, Cheryl developed her voice, her advocacy skills, and learned the value of paying it forward which further sparked her interest in becoming an educator. Cheryl received a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Educational Studies, and a master's degree in Higher Education in Student Affairs both from Salem State University in Salem, MA.  

Outside of work, Cheryl enjoys spending time by the water (preferably the ocean), playing board games, trying new recipes, and spending time with her dog, Mia, and loved ones.
