This fall, the Cutler Center will be offering a semester-long seminar series for undergraduate finance students who are interested in private equity careers. Led by several private equity practitioners, it will provide an in-depth understanding of private equity with sessions devoted to prospecting, valuation, LBO modeling, negotiating skills, and the lifecycle of private equity investments. A special thank you to our finance alumni who have been involved in creating the curriculum and will be working directly with our students:

Do you have an idea for a new workshop or seminar for our finance students? Please reach out to Cutler Center Program Manager, Leslie Romiza, at lromiza1@babson.edu.

In the spring of 2019, the Cutler Center partnered with the CFA Society Boston to welcome an accomplished group of women professionals to campus to speak about their career choices and investment management experiences. The Cutler Center has also partnered with the CFA Institute to promote its Women in Investment Management Internship Program, which aims to recruit gender-diverse talent into the asset management industry. The focus on women in finance continued into the spring of 2020 when we welcomed an accomplished group of Babson alumni to campus to talk about their career choices, experiences and offer advice to students. The event also featured a networking opportunity for our students and alumni.

We continue to strengthen relationships and further engage student organizations on campus, such as the Women in Finance cohort, to encourage more women to consider experiential learning opportunities, like the Babson College Fund, that help them build their skillset and prepare for careers in finance. Women bring a different perspective and in a program like BCF, diversity of thought leads to better outcomes.

Calling all Babson College Fund alumni - Please join us on the Babson Boston Campus roof deck for the annual Babson College Fund reception. Reminisce with alumni, faculty advisors, and executives-in-residence, while also meeting our current Babson College Fund students. We will also honor Executive in Residence, Warren Johnson, for his twenty years of mentorship to the program. Beer, wine, and refreshments will be provided.

Since March 9, 2000, the Cutler Center has prepared graduates for careers in finance and currently, one in four Babson students pursue a degree in finance. Now more than ever, your investment in the Cutler Center will support the College's vision to remain the preeminent leader in business education.
