I helped organize the Babson Entrepreneurship Forum and contributed to the speaker engagement team. I had the opportunity to communicate with a number of very successful entrepreneurs. It helped me develop my communication skills and gave me experience in reaching out to new people and introducing myself (something you learn to do a lot at Babson).”
