4/24 College Visits to Babson and Wellesley

During the Friday of April vacation week, seven of our sophomores were treated to special tours of Babson College and Wellesley College, both in Wellesley, MA.

At Babson, our students met with two highly successful Babson undergraduates who are deeply involved with Babson's multicultural student life. We learned about Babson's distinctively hands-on business curriculum, in which all freshmen students are engaged in running their own student companies.

At Wellesley, our students were welcomed into an American literature class that happened to be discussing a work of fiction that our students had encountered earlier this year in ELA 10 (Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried). It was certainly a challenging experience to keep up with a college-style discussion, in which only one word was written on the blackboard for the entire 70 minutes. (The word was "teleological.")

Special thanks to Ms. Style for the hard work that she put into planning this trip for our students!
