Gianna Hagopian was hired as the athletics administrator at Babson College in October 2026.
A 2025 graduate of the University of Oregon with a bachelor's degree in advertising, Hagopian comes to Babson after earning her master's degree from Oregon's Lundquist College of Business in June. She was heavily involved in athletics during her time in Eugene, most recently serving as a creative intern for the Ducks' softball program. In that role, Hagopian oversaw softball media operations, including photography, videography and game-day content, while managing a six-person creative team.
Last spring, Hagopian worked as a videographer for Ascend Magazine, published by Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication. She also spent 10 months as an operations and creative intern for the Oregon Hockey Club, where she executed game-day operations and served as the team's primary media representative.
In addition to her work as a graduate student, Hagopian was a five-year member and president of the Oregon Weightlifting Club. During her tenure, she helped raise more than $50,000 and tripled the team's number of competitive members over a three-year span. She also worked as an operations manager at the University of Oregon Recreation Center from 2023-25.
Following the completion of her master's degree in June, Hagopian relocated to the Boston area and most recently worked as a social media manager for Make You Known Marketing.
