What we're building this year.

GSC stands for Graduate Student Council— Babson's elected government for graduate students.

01 · Connect the Dots

We connect career access to your profile

Connect the Dots — career access at Babson
  • We're working with GradCCD to shift generic career events toward warm-intro, industry-specific sessions
  • We're hosting alumni speaker series with clubs — sessions built around jobs and careers
  • We're running a Graduate Student Council international student networking track for students building networks from scratch

02 · One GSC

We're one connected student body across every program

One Graduate Student Council — connected Babson graduate community
  • We're one GSC for all graduate students: 1Y, Part-Time, and 2Y MBAs; Blended Learning & Miami MBAs; MSEL; MSBA; and MSF.
  • We're hosting regular cross-program socials and mixers (e.g. Biweekly Rogers Pub Mixers, council BBQs, etc.)
  • Cross-Cultural Events Calendar: we surface cultural events across Babson—like our annual Holi Celebration
  • We're keeping WhatsApp and email channels consistent so no one misses what matters

03 · Build Babson Better

We're building a Student Voice Dashboard that tracks your feedback

Build Babson Better — Student Voice Dashboard
  • You can submit ideas and feedback anonymously and upvote what you want to see
  • We're making it easy to pledge volunteer support and see momentum on initiatives
  • We're closing the gap between what Babson promises and what you experience
See the Dashboard

Ask not what Babson can do for you, ask what you can do for Babson.
