Through my involvement with Student Government Association, I worked closely with 5 other students to initiate more than 20 projects during the year. The largest was the Upper Quad project (now known as the Barefoot Park), $450,000 development project that involved redevelopment of part of the campus, the largest student organized project in Babson’s history. With my team at Chamber of Commerce, I was also able to conceive and implement Entrepreneurship Resource Center, a place where students can receive help with starting a business, writing a business plan and running a venture.
