 Jessie Diaz '09 Hometown: Valley Stream, NY Favorite Course: Brand Management
Why Babson “I chose Babson because of the hands-on curriculum. The fact that I can start my own business while I’m here, talk to real companies for project consulting, and get to be a secret shopper for a paper are all reasons why I love the curriculum here.”
On Getting Involved “I love all the organizations I am a part of. I am involved in the Babson Dance Ensemble because I love to dance. It is such a stress reliever and a great way to meet new people. I am also on the executive board, so I get to help decide on the budget, choice of songs, and costumes.”
On the Babson Community “The community is very supportive. At most college campuses, we’ve had issues arise and the community really comes together to help those in need. And the staff is so supportive of events on campus. Whenever I‘ve held an event on campus, there are so many staff members that come to support you.”
On Leadership and Teamwork “I really like the stress on teamwork. In most of my classes, I have to work in a group and that has showed me how to learn and lead at the same time. And the leadership positions I’ve held in the organizations I’m involved in have taught me how to be responsible, how to be professional, and how to interact and lead within a community.” | This Is Your Babson Blog » Jessie Diaz Noro Virus, FME, and Entrepreneurship&WHAT A MONTH!
