NEW MEMBER INTEREST GROUP (MIG) EXPLORES COLLABORATIVE ACCELERATOR PROGRAM AND MORE
During the recent community conversation, we announced the creation of a new Collaborative Member Interest Group (MIG) that will focus on incubators and accelerators.

The MIG plans to hold quarterly meetings to facilitate the continued sharing of best practices and advancement of goals including exploration of a Babson Collaborative accelerator program through which participants could access mentors, global perspectives and local resources from member schools.

MEMBER NEWS
BCERC DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM SHOWCASE
Each year the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC) brings together academics and real-world practitioners to share insights and ideas from scholarly research. In June 2021, BCERC Doctoral Consortium participants published 26 practitioner translations that highlight important implications for entrepreneurs and other ecosystem participants. These articles translate academic work into a format that offers practitioners new insights and best practices.

GRATITUDE FOR COLLABORATIVE FACULTY DIRECTOR
On behalf of the Babson Academy, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Bradley George for serving as faculty director of the Babson Collaborative this past year, while Heidi Neck was on sabbatical.

Brad provided critical guidance and leadership as the Collaborative navigated a very challenging year. He also played a key role as we planned our first ever virtual global summit, made significant improvements to the annual global student challenge, and envisioned new programs, services, awards and incentives for our members. Thank you, Brad!
