Annually, two educators from Babson Collaborative member schools will be invited to join Babson College as a visiting scholar. Visiting Scholars build teamwork and cross-school collaboration among faculty that results in academic research, case writing and other scholarship. The appointment as visiting scholar will take place in a hybrid format. While the majority will be remote, visiting scholars are required to complete a 3-4 week residency at Babson.
