For Christabel Tan, the answer was simple - enrol in NYP�s Diploma in Food Science & Nutrition , and also learn as much about entrepreneurship as possible. And what better way to learn about starting your own business than by attending an 8-day Course at the US�s No. 1 college for entrepreneurship ? So Christabel visited Babson College from 6-13 July for a National Youth Leadership Forum on Careers in Business & Innovation. Not only did she get an extraordinary lesson in entrepreneurship and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but she also became the first student from NYP to attend this programme at the prestigious Babson College.
