The amount of support and mentoring Babson students receive is an integral part of the Babson experience. A wide variety of resources are available on campus. Our faculty members and dedicated staff are consistently recognized by our students for the personal attention and mentoring provided to them throughout their time at Babson and even after they graduate.

Faculty Leaders and Mentors

Babson recruits and retains top-quality faculty, many of whom are internationally recognized in the areas of management education and the liberal arts. There are no teaching assistants at Babson—the experts are in class every day.

You’ll find our faculty members are part of more than just the classroom experience. They live and breathe Babson pride and community spirit. They are heavily involved in cocurricular programs and provide mentoring, insight, and real-world connections to our students. Nearly fifty percent of our over 90 student clubs and organizations have a faculty member as their adviser!

Faculty members also serve as advisers within the First-Year Seminar course, and many are advisers of current student businesses and board members of alumni businesses. It is fairly common to see faculty members at student events, athletic contests, and performances. More on Babson faculty can be found at Undergraduate Faculty.
