'Green' values highlighted at
Babson College dinner
Kerry Gilcoine
director of marketing,
Babson College Dining
In an era where sustainable initiatives
and community engagement shape
the landscape of higher education,
Babson College, globally recognized for
entrepreneurship education, offered a fresh
perspective with its inaugural The Green
Dinner event. The Green Dinner embodied
the college's mission statement, which
emphasizes " values-led entrepreneurial
leadership and a commitment to creating
social and economic value everywhere. "
Hosted by Babson College Dining, a part
of Chartwells Higher Education, The Green
Dinner was held on Wednesday, May 3, in
Trim Dining Hall, Babson's second 3-Star
Certified Green Restaurant® on campus.
More than just a gastronomic feast, the
dinner showed how institutions can blend
sustainability, community collaboration,
and entrepreneurship to create value.
Drawing more than 800 attendees, the
event highlighted the college's deep-rooted
ethos of fostering a symbiotic relationship
between entrepreneurship and societal
advancement.
John Pagano, general manager of Babson
College Dining, noted the importance of
dining experiences that build connection.
" Every day presents us with countless
opportunities to uplift and support our
community, " Pagano said. " It's essential
to be present, to ask questions, and to
converse with everyone-whether it's a
conversation with a student grabbing
their morning coffee or a local farmer
discussing sustainable produce. The
key is to ask, 'Why not?' and be willing
to explore every possibility. Every
conversation holds the potential to
inspire action and strengthen our
community bonds. "
In alignment with Babson College
Student Government's " On Wednesdays
We Wear Green " campaign to show
Babson pride, guests donned green
attire to emphasize the spirit of
entrepreneurship and school pride. Many
enthusiastically sported " Live Green &
Thrive " t-shirts specially designed for
the event. The enthusiasm was evident,
with a 22 percent surge in participation
compared to an average dinner service in
Trim at this time of year.
In a celebration of " being green, "
sustainably speaking, Babson College
Dining was proud to showcase Trim's
2022 certification by the Green
Restaurant Association: Trim Dining Hall
NOURISHING A GREENER FUTURE
