Cutler Center 2012-2013 Annual Report - Babson College

The Cutler Center also works closely with Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions in several ways:
o
o
o
Coordinating with undergraduate and graduate admissions, we invited prospective
students and parents to various Cutler Center events throughout the year and spoke
with prospective students at these events or on campus.
We attended several receptions for prospective MBA students (at Babson and in
Miami for the Babson Connect event) who were considering applying to Babson or
who were accepted and were considering attending Babson. As the Director of
Graduate Admissions wrote: “Mark…thank you very much for speaking with so many
candidates and inviting them to the Cutler Center.”
Coordinating with undergraduate and graduate admissions, we sent a letter from
Michael Goldstein, Chair of the Finance Division, to several hundred admitted students
interested in finance who were deciding what college to attend, explaining how
finance at Babson is unique. This was the third year we sent such a letter. We began
this process which Admissions now offers to all divisions.
The Cutler Center and Finance Division work closely with Graduate and Undergraduate CCD. For
example, we:
o Co-hosted an Investments Career Panel (page 10)
o Through our professional contacts, we provided CCD with student internship
opportunities and full-time job opportunities
o Meet with and mentor students who are interested in the investments sector.
o Coordinated a meeting with first year and second year MBA finance students and
Cutler Center and finance faculty representatives to educate students on how they
needed to start preparing and what they needed to do if they are interested in careers
in finance
o Helped support the Young Alumni Mentor Network developed and operated by
Finance Professor Laurie Krigman, this network pairs undergraduates concentrating in
Finance with young alumni for the purpose of career and job search mentoring
Partnering and coordinating with CCD and hence helping students get jobs in this highly competitive
sector is an important part of the Cutler Center’s mission.
