Engage with GGF
GGF holds programming both on campus and virtually. Activities include:
- Fall and spring kick-off events
- Alumni panel discussions
- Collaborative events with the Center for Career Development around developing and articulating your global and intercultural competencies
- Opportunities to attend local speaker events
- Sponsorship for global and/or language case competitions
Glavin Global Fellows can take advantage of grant opportunities for exploration of international or multicultural endeavors. Grant funds are to help fellows pursue experiences that will enhance their critical thinking on global and multicultural issues.
The Glavin Global Fellows badge is an opportunity for fellows to highlight the intersection between globally focused courses they took in the Babson curriculum, language proficiency and their global/multicultural experiences. This four-year pathway ensures that students develop and apply global competencies that prepare them to be entrepreneurial leaders with a global mindset.
