Welcome to issue No. 38 of  The Collaborative Field Notes .

Hello Collaborative members!
It's been a busy week as we launched the Babson Academy  that is the new home for the Collaborative. The feedback on the new Academy has been awesome and I'm so excited to get started. 

I look forward to providing you with additional programming as we move forward.   I value your input so please send ideas my way. 

Oh...and HAPPY HALLOWEEEN!

Babson's Latest Move to
Advance Global Entrepreneurial Learning

Babson recently announced the startup of   the Babson Academy --- a unit within Babson College that will house all of our programming that currently serves universities, their educators, and their students. This includes our SEE programs, Teaching Fellows, Babson Build, and the Collaborative.  

This move is great news for the Collaborative. We will be located in the central part of campus rather than executive education, and have greater access to dedicated resources for our community.
