Six undergraduate Babson women will participate in Broad Advantage in New York City this summer, immersing themselves in the professional world along with hundreds of other undergraduate women from the world’s leading institutions. 

As one of 85 Broads partner schools, Babson is represented by senior Chanelle Carver (Pleasant Valley, NY), sophomores Shirmila Doddi (Southboro, Mass.), Alison Rosenfeld (Newton Center, Mass.), and Meredith McLeod Sears (Houston, TX), and first-years Tiffany Lien (Holmdel, NJ) and Vanessa Theoharis (Upton, Mass.). Broad Advantage is open exclusively to the most promising undergraduates from the partner schools, selected through a competitive process.

For one week in NYC, these Babson women will participate in intensive workshops and events designed to give them opportunities for personal growth, self-discovery, career and leadership development, and recognition.

Excerpted from the mission page are these words from 85 Broads founder Janet Hanson:

"85 Broads connects women across geographies, generations, academic institutions, and cultures. Visionary women intuitively know that to effect sustainable change, we must PARTNER with each other. Our network provides a platform to connect amazing women across generations who know that together we can run companies, lead nations, and change the world."
