A look back from the Class of 2021 “ I thought this was just a really unique experience. What other program allows you to do a deep dive on a topic for a year and get credit for it? … I certainly think I’ve become a better writer throughout this process, and improved my critical-thinking abilities and research skills.” – ELLA WAHLESTEDT ’21 Ella Wahlestedt ’21, a former member of the Babson Honors Program, on her senior research project, which was grounded in both business and the liberal arts, on how streaming services are affecting independent film and filmmakers. She is now pursuing becoming a film producer.

Students share why they chose Babson During my college search, I was looking for a gym. I found Zumba Fitness. The founder, Alberto Perlman, is a Babson alum (Class of 1998), and a person of color, which I could relate to as a budding entrepreneur. I realized that my ultimate life goal is to be a Babson alumni who breaks that mold of the entrepreneur stereotype, with a mission to leave a positive footprint on the world. Babson was the perfect fit for my aspirations.
Lexie Cheng ’25 Hometown: Rockville, Maryland
I chose Babson because I recognized how they offered their students endless possibilities and opportunities. I also noticed how unique Babson is in the way they choose to structure themselves. They give you entrepreneurial skills and a foundation in every aspect of business to prepare you in whatever industry you end up going into. Additionally, the strong, global network/ community that Babson offers while you are a student and alumni was something that I could not pass up.
Alicia Gaudet ’22 Hometown: Salem, NH
I chose Babson because I wanted a small school with big school resources. I wanted to be at a school where I could leave an imprint and be actively involved and Babson supports you and gives you all the resources to do so.
Noelia Chacon ’23 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
6 EMPOWER A virtual, entrepreneurial experience for Babson’s rising women leaders.
I came from a smaller school, and I thrived in that community. Babson is close-knit, it’s like family, and that’s what I wanted from my college. A place where everyone would know each other, and our professors would know us. A place where I could reach my full potential. Babson offered that, plus a beautiful campus, and I’m close to home.
Nicole Johns ’23 Hometown: Peabody, MA
I’m deciding between marketing and entrepreneurship. At first, I was thinking that I would do entrepreneurship because Babson is the best known school for it. But now that I’m working as a PR-manager here in Kyiv, I’m really seeing that my goal is deeper, and business communication might be the best fit for me.
Liliia Alieksanova ’25 Hometown: Cherkasy, Ukraine
A friend recommended I check out the Babson website, and when I went to the website I saw things that really wowed me. One of them was the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (CWEL). It was also the way Babson students interact with professors. And the resources. That, plus the network, and the friendships that you form as a person. Those were things that really resonated with me, and I thought perhaps it would be a good fit.
Lydia Sammy ’25 Hometown: Nairobi, Kenya
The fact that Babson is a liberal arts and a business school is really something that fascinates me. It gives people like me an opportunity to explore what interests them and what they love. Knowing that I’ll be able to try so many things, and at the end of the day, choosing what interests me the most – that’s something that I really find great about Babson.

“ It puts everything into this crazy course on entrepreneurship. It introduces you to what business and Babson are all about.” – SOPHIA PANTOS ’24
How It Works Throughout the year, two dedicated faculty members—industry professionals—teach you the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, marketing, organizational behavior, and operations, while emphasizing the integrated role these functions have in an organization. Classes of up to 40 students break into teams to use the concepts and tools of Entrepreneurial Thought & Action®, the method of turning ideas into action, to explore a creative opportunity that solves a problem and creates value. Once you determine your idea is feasible, you’ll create a launch plan and must qualify for a loan of up to $3,000 from the College as startup money for your business.

BIG EXAMPLES OF RECENT FME BUSINESSES PRO
“ FME is one of the things that truly separates the Babson learning experience from the rest. Most schools rely on textbooks and case studies, while the FME experience puts theory into practice, exposing you to many aspects of business you can’t learn in a classroom such as team dynamics and real-time decision making. When it comes to entrepreneurship, there is nothing more valuable than real world experience and FME delivers Babson students with exactly that.” – Dave Heath ’05, Co-Founder and CEO, Bombas

Above all, it’s about turning ideas into action. These skills are essential to your personal and professional development, and you’ll constantly use them throughout your four years—and throughout your future career.
