From the President

Dear Babson Community,

Welcome to a new academic year! Whether you are returning to Babson or joining our community for the first time as a student, faculty member, or staff, welcome.

Throughout the summer, we welcomed visitors of all ages and our community remained active. Faculty and students remained engaged in teaching, learning, and research. Aspiring young entrepreneurs developed new skills and advanced their ideas through Summer at Babson, including the inaugural Arthur M. Blank School pre-college program and the longstanding Summer Venture Program. We launched the new Master of Science in Management in Business Creation, and the Executive Lodge and Conference Center continues to take shape. Together, these efforts reflect a community that is always learning, building, and creating opportunity.

At Babson, entrepreneurial leadership is grounded in values. Values-based entrepreneurial leadership is reflected in the choices we make every day, the way we engage with one another, and how we approach opportunities and challenges. Those choices shape our culture and strengthen Babson.

As I begin my final academic year as president, I encourage each of us to practice values-based entrepreneurial leadership in our classrooms, workplaces, teams, and communities. I invite you to consider your values and the impact you can have on those around you.

I wish each of you a productive and rewarding academic year. Your leadership is important. Together we create opportunities and bring our values to life.

With appreciation,

Steve
