Your Foundation as an Entrepreneurial Leader Starts Here

Anyone has the potential to lead—not just those in formal positions of power or authority. At Babson, you can develop the skills you need to positively and ethically influence individuals, teams, organizations, your community, or society at large.

3 Keys of Leadership

Purpose: Who do I need to be? What do I want to be?

Network: Who do I need to know? Who do I want to know?

Learning: What do I need to know and do? What do I want to know and do?

Babson Leadership Academy

Direct your own learning and development as an entrepreneurial leader. The Babson Leadership Academy guides you to ask and answer major questions to help develop an emotionally intelligent leadership style, improve leadership competence, and increase future leadership potential.

Student Government Association

Be heard as a member of the Student Government Association (SGA), the voice of the student body. You can join SGA as a senator within your first few weeks on campus and take an active role in organizing and implementing campus-wide programming.

Leadership Positions

Student leaders are the fire that ignites the campus with school spirit and pride, while implementing new, engaging initiatives for the student body. As an undergraduate, there are several ways you can practice the leadership skills you’re learning inside the classroom.

As one of the first people students meet when visiting campus, Admission Fellows conduct first-year admission interviews, speak at information sessions, and more. 

Admission Fellows are rising juniors and seniors with diverse involvement on campus and who are excited to share their Babson experience with prospective students.

 

Provide innovative approaches to help enhance the Babson Dining program while meeting other undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of backgrounds.

You’ll meet several times each semester with Dining Services directors and other staff members to provide suggestions, advice, and feedback regarding dining facilities, programs, menus, and services.

 

Working directly with the Alumni and Friends Network, these ambassadors get access to exclusive networking opportunities, act as hosts for events, work with student affinity organizations, and engage with alumni. As a CAA, you get to participate in training programs, alumni events, and more.

 

Every Babson student takes Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship. What better way to use the skills you gained your first year than to pay them forward?
