Babson Dean Runs To Raise Money For His Students

NATICK, MA — A Natick resident and Babson College dean recently ran a long distance to raise money for a student emergency fund.

Rob Major ran 10 miles for the effort, and six other Babson colleagues participated too. So far, they've raised over $5,300 for the Babson Student Emergency Fund. The original goal was $1,500.

The emergency fund is open to students who have experienced hardship due to the coronavirus crisis.

Major and his colleagues completed their runs on May 16, the day the Babson class of 2020 was supposed to graduate. The college is planning to hold an in-person graduation ceremony at a future date.
