Three College Presidents Will Host Babson-Olin-Wellesley Collaboration Celebration Sept. 9
WELLESLEY, Mass. –Babson, Olin and Wellesley college presidents are holding a community celebration of their new three-college agreement that builds on geographic proximity and complementary educational strengths to explore an expanded partnership among the three institutions.
Three presidents celebrate the collaboration.
The event will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 1:30 pm in the Wellesley Room of Olin Hall at Babson College. It is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.
“The combined strengths of Wellesley, Olin and Babson offer our students an even wider array of opportunities and options to enhance their college years,” Bottomly said. “This partnership aims to inspire our faculty, students and staff to share and expand their knowledge and insights. It will serve as a new, cooperative model for higher education.”
“I think the nation is eager for educational institutions to engage in innovative collaborations like this that increase the educational opportunities for students while helping to control the costs of a college education,” Miller said. “Our three institutions have distinct missions that overlap very little, but that offer great possibilities for synergy, and we hope to capitalize on this.”
“What’s so exciting about this partnership is that three academic institutions, each renowned in its own right, recognize that their future capacity to achieve their vision is enormously increased through collaboration,” Schlesinger said.
