Arthur M. Blank School
The Blank School engages Babson community members and leads research to create entrepreneurial leaders.
The Changemaker Award was designed to recognize members of the Babson community who have set something in motion in order to create positive change.
For eight years, we invited all members of the Babson community to nominate an individual who exemplifies the idea of creating positive change.
We are looking to honor those willing to take smart, courageous action to create change for good. As such, nominees are not limited to those who have completed an initiative or project; also to be considered are efforts that are underway. This award is for those engaged in change-making behavior.
We are delighted to announce our 2018 Changemaker Award winners who were honored on April 24th at Babson’s Spring Awards Luncheon. Read about their impact.
