Most important lesson I’ve learned at Babson so far. A team doesn’t work without people. At Babson, you do a lot of group work. You do a lot of things where you need connections, resources, and communication. But you also need to have good relationships with the people on your team. Understanding that I need other people around me is something that I will always be able to use, whether

I would try to provide resources for Egyptians to know where to find educational opportunities, such as study abroad, and how to access those opportunities, enhance their career, acknowledge their potential, and reach their future aspirations.

Attending the fall showcase of the Babson Dance Ensemble. They do two events a year, and they’re so much fun. You get to see everyone in the crowd and you get to see the dance ensemble, which is an amazing group of dancers and performers. It’s an hour long show and they do different songs and different numbers. The music is great, the crowd cheering on the dancers, and it’s so incredible that everyone comes out to support that event. It’s a huge showing of school unity and fun. It’s also amazing to see the other talents our students have to offer.

The group is made up of people ages 18 to 24 who create the whole production—from the actors, to the crew, to the set designers. Performing arts is a logical fit for the entrepreneurial mindset, as it relies on thinking on your feet, and being able to pivot on a dime. At Babson I plan to join Students Against Gravity improv group, and Babson Players.

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.
