At Babson, we believe in combining entrepreneurship theory and practice, real-world exposure and experience. To provide this exposure, we bring entrepreneurial leaders to campus to share their stories with our community.
Many elite entrepreneurs are members of our Academy of Distinguished Entrepreneurs, the world’s first entrepreneurship “hall of fame.” These members often are inducted on Founder’s Day, our oldest tradition and annual celebration of entrepreneurship. On Founder’s Day, we also hold our business plan competitions, the first ever established for students. On a separate date, we hold Rocket Pitch where our students and alumni are challenged to pitch their business opportunities in three minutes or less to peers, faculty, alumni, and the business community.
Our Symposia for Entrepreneurship Educators (SEE) focus on case-method teaching and alternative pedagogies. Since 1984, we’ve trained over 1800 academics and entrepreneurs to teach by translating entrepreneurship theory to practice. SEE alumni are teaching and mentoring tens of thousands of students around the globe each year. Many of these educators and others from around the world join us on an annual basis for the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC), the oldest and largest research conference for entrepreneurship in the world.
We look forward to your participation in our programs and events!
