Partner Organization Experiential Learning (EL) Project Proposal Application

Babson College is the educator, convener, and thought leader for Entrepreneurship of All Kinds (TM). The College is a dynamic living and learning laboratory, where students, faculty, and staff work together to address the real-world problems of business and society--while at the same time, evolving our methods and advancing our programs. We shape the leaders our world needs most: those with strong functional knowledge and the skills and vision to navigate change, accommodate ambiguity, surmount complexity, and motivate teams in a common purpose to create economic and social value. As we have for nearly half-a-century, Babson continues to advance Entrepreneurial Thought and Action (TM) as the most positive force on the planet for generating sustainable, economic and social value.

Our Faculty Committee reviews each proposal with careful attention during the selection process. We also work diligently to create student teams that can meet the needs and expectations of our partner organizations. If for any reason we feel that those expectations might not be met, we will let you know and work with you to find the best fit possible from among the multiple programs offered by the Office of Experiential Learning. This proposal is intended to capture your proposal idea and business need succinctly and efficiently. Each answer helps our Faculty Committee to make its selection appropriately and therefore, the proposal is organized in three (3) parts. Please contact Sophie Gray, Senior Relationship Manager, Graduate Experiential Learning at sgray1@babson.edu or 781-239-6149 to discuss your proposal at any time during the process.
