Babson President Kerry Healey and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh just announced that the school would be launching the first global entrepreneur-in-residence (GEIR) program to be offered by a private university. The program, which will kick off in the fall, will help a select number of international entrepreneurs graduating from institutions throughout the region remain in the U.S. to work on their viable ventures.
“Babson believes that entrepreneurship is the most powerful force for social and economic good in the world today,” Healey said in front of 100 High Street in the Financial District, where the school will be expanding its Blank Center for Entrepreneurship.
