Babson College honors Entrepreneurial Thought and Action

The Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship at Babson College will host two days of activities and events to honor its legacy of developing students who embody Entrepreneurial Thought and Action.  Creative thinking contests, a start-up career fair, and panel discussion, Defining Next Generation Entrepreneurship in Today’s Environment, will culminate in the #1 Business School for Entrepreneurship’s annual business plan competitions. Babson founded the very first competition in 1984.  Today awards are almost $100,000 in cash and services in kind.
