Babson College named Kate Klepper as the new dean of its F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business, replacing Keith Rollag, who returned to the faculty after serving as dean since 2018. Klepper will join Babson in June after more than two decades in graduate management education leadership, most recently as associate dean for graduate programs at Northeastern University’s D’Amore-McKim School of Business. Her record includes curriculum innovation, flexible learning program design, and administrative oversight of AACSB reaccreditation work. The appointment also reflects a strategic enrollment and program design background. The coverage notes she previously served as Babson’s dean of graduate admissions and helped strengthen recruitment efforts for diverse populations. Babson’s provost pointed to Klepper’s experience with customizable and flexible learning pathways—an area that aligns with Babson’s emphasis on adaptable program platforms as higher-ed programs modernize delivery models for working students.
