Cutler Center Impact Report
The 2022-23 academic year was filled with memorable moments inside and outside the classroom. The finance lab continued to be integrated into several undergraduate and graduate courses, which incorporated the data and analytical tools available through the lab. Outside the classroom, our students continued to excel in many competitions, including a group of undergraduate students in the Babson College Fund who won the local CFA Institute’s Equity Research Challenge for the fifth time in the last seven years. The Cutler Center also hosted various thought leadership events for students, alums, and finance community members.
