During the recent Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. I was reflecting on gratitude, joy, friendship, and family. I feel tremendous gratitude for the friendships and special memories we have created over the years, especially during our annual summit. I am inspired by the collaborations and partnerships formed from your passion and dedication to the field and to each other. And it brings me great joy to celebrate you, your institutions, and your students with awards, scholarships, and special opportunities throughout the year. You are a part of the Babson family and what makes our organization unique and very special. On behalf of the entire Babson Academy team, I wish you happiness, peace, and good health this holiday season and in the new year ahead.

Sincerely, Jamie Kendrioski, Director
