“Without a doubt, entrepreneurship has proven to be one of the most effective ways of closing the wealth gap,” said Gerald Watson, founding chair of Babson Black Alumni Alliance. “We have a very rich network of Black alumni who have excelled in industries and businesses all over the world.”
Babson hosted its Black Unity Summit, which tapped into its network of distinguished alumni, who shared their experiences and their expertise, focusing on practical advice and proven strategies and covering everything from starting, selling, and buying a business to real estate, private equity and corporate finance, and social entrepreneurship.
