APPENDIX A
ADMINISTRATION/DEPARTMENT CHAIR/STUDENT REVIEWS
DIRECT OBSERVATIONS
Observations from two distinguished Babson members of the Faculty and Administration:
Observations by Dr. Len Schlesinger, Babson College, President “Babson College has had
the benefit of Michael Caslin’s energy and counsel as an adjunct faculty member for years
and I have personally witnessed his impact on students in teaching the Social
Entrepreneurship course. He has served a valuable advisor to many before the creation of

6
the Lewis Institute and campus wide initiative. As a National Board Member for NFTE, I can
appreciate the magnitude of the challenges he faced over 20 years as the organization’s
CEO…the reputational capital that was built far exceeded the formal resources they had
available to them. At this stage of his life Michael wants to make the transition to a more full
time academic career and the MBA is the first step in the process. I enthusiastically support
his plan and do believe he is taking the appropriate steps to realize his aspirations and I have
little doubt that he will be an important member of his Fast Track cohort.”
 Oral Communication Skills - “Excellent”- Schlesinger, Brush
 Ability to Work with Others - “Excellent”- Schlesinger, Brush
 Initiative- “Excellent” - Schlesinger, Brush
 Maturity- “Excellent” - Schlesinger, Brush
 Creativity- “Excellent” - Schlesinger, Brush
 Problem Solving Skills- “Excellent”- Dr. Candy Brush
Observations by Dr. Candy Brush, Babson College, Department Chair, Blank Center for
Entrepreneurship- Endorsement- “I first met Mike Caslin when I joined Babson College as
Division Chair. He had been an adjunct faculty member teaching social entrepreneurship and
I became his direct supervisor and have known him for 6 years. His strengths are personal
interaction, communication, sales and marketing and non-profit/foundation work including
NFTE and knows the landscape of social entrepreneurship very well. He has built
connections, knows how to do research, collect data and importantly is committed to social
mission ventures and non-profits. He has taught graduate and undergraduate courses and I
observed his teaching on several occasions and there is no question that he engages
students in rich discussion and is an enthusiastic presenter…Mike’s passion, expertise and
knowledge of social ventures/non-profit would be a terrific addition to the Fast Track Program
and while he is more experienced and a mature candidate, I know he is eager to learn. He
would likely be a leader for his cohort and embrace this role.
 Written Communication Skills- “Good” – Dr. Len Schlesinger
 Quantitative Skills- “Good”- Dr. Candy Brush
 Decision-making Skills- “Good”- Dr. Candy Brush
APPENDIX B
TEACHING MOTIVATION AND PHILOSOPHY
I love teaching. Why? It is an incredible gift and honor to see first-hand the power of
conceiving, believing and achieving occur within my students during the length of an
academic semester and beyond. Reading their qualitative feedback surveys after each
semester further reinforces that I’ve contributed to their growth process.
I have pursued teaching as a second stage career path. During my first stage career I built
a number of small businesses and non-profits. This in turn led to my being sought out for
strategic advisory services then CEO/Co-Founder role in a start-up non-profit- NFTE-
Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship- that would go on to scale globally, work with

7
500,000 students and be case studied twice by Harvard Business School. The popularity of
these case studies in turn created a demand for my lecturing at Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke,
Harvard- Business and Kennedy Schools and Stanford Universities.
From this experience, I was then invited to be a “practitioner-academic” at Babson College
and CUNY-BARUCH working with both graduate and undergraduate students. Since 1988, I
have been able to teach entrepreneurship to students ranging in age from 15 to 50 years
around the world. have had the blessing of lecturing teaching and working with a wide range
of from the lowest income to the most prestigious and credentialed graduate school students,
from the next generation scions of the world’s wealthiest business families to the multi-
generation impoverished on many continents. From those who are physically challenge,
incarcerated or learning disadvantaged to the most gifted and resourced. I have seen in the
eyes of them all a desire to learn, dream, to change their lives for the better and to change
the world for the better. Given the state of our very needy world, it is only through education
that we can help support more flames of knowledge that will light up the darkness. This is
why I must teach.
I believe knowledge with wisdom (applied knowledge) is power and as a teacher I have the
right and the duty to share knowledge and the accumulated wisdom of insights gained from
my own career path. I always say, “I don’t have answers just perspective and that each
student must come to their own answers in life.”
I believe that as an educator I am walking Joseph Campbell’s, “The Thousand Faces of A
Hero”. This “hero path” is with my students. We are on a shared journey beginning in the
classroom which goes beyond the semester – and we grow together. Together we chose to
depart from the comfortable, gain enlightenment through struggle and most importantly we
commit to “the return” to teach others (our colleagues, our fellow students, our friends and
families) what we have learned. From all the Babson and Baruch classes I have taught over
the years I have now served as a mentor to 93 students.
I believe that educators have a noble duty to find new truths and affirm old ones based on
rigorous research, writing, debate and presentations. We have a noble duty to inspire,
challenge and nurture our students in and beyond the classroom. In my role as a teacher I
am enabled to see the potential that lies within my students and am thrilled to help it emerge.
It is my sacred duty to help my students see and tap into their natural or God-given
potential as well. I believe that education is a great individual liberator, societal equalizer and

8
nation builder. And I believe that social entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship that
seeks to transform society through triple bottom line oriented efforts (by intentionally linking
people, profit and planet), is one of the most pragmatic, radical and transformative non-
coercive forces for good that exists on our planet today.
