The Lewis Institute

The Lewis Institute builds on Babson’s early and continuing initiatives in globally responsible leadership and social entrepreneurship, and the bold vision of Alan E. Lewis, chairman and CEO of Grand Circle Corporation—connecting teaching, action, and research that encourages and enables entrepreneurs with a social mission.

Lewis has partnered with Babson to further advance the outer frontier of entrepreneurship to provide solutions for the extraordinary challenges—human, financial, and environmental—that the world faces. Recognized as the No. 1 school for entrepreneurship, Babson is well-prepared to educate and empower entrepreneurial leaders to create the seismic change and value needed in the world today. With the Lewis Institute serving as a laboratory to test out new thinking and approaches, we are dramatically expanding the field of social entrepreneurship, and will continue to present new, cutting-edge research and tools for addressing pressing global problems.
