Peter W. Rogers graduated valedictorian of his 2008 Babson College class earning him the Caroll W. Ford Scholarship for highest cumulative average.
In addition, he received the Roger W. Babson Award for excellence in scholarship, co-curricular activities, and leadership – the highest honor bestowed upon a graduating senior. This is the same award his father, Ronald, a 1978 Babson alumnus, won thirty years ago!
Rogers, a 2004 graduate of Ridgewood High School and the son of Ronald & Louise Rogers of Ridgewood, also received the Clinton A. Petersen Accounting Award, and he is among those listed on Who’s Who Among Students in American University and Colleges. He earned dean’s list status all four years at Babson.
