> Greetings, I wanted to let you know about a great opportunity here at 

> Wake Forest where you can get a FREE education and get PAID while 

> you're doing it. Our Dean of the Schools of Business is the former CEO 

> of PepsiCo and very committed to diversity. He's gone around to his 

> CEO friends, who have agreed to donate a bunch of money to pay tuition 

> and fees, provide a stipend, and a job, to diverse students. The 

> details are below. The problem is, response to the program has been 

> dismal! As a faculty member, I would be embarrassed for him to have to 

> tell his CEO friends, "thanks so much for your donation, but 

> unfortunately I have to give it back because we couldn't find Any 

> students who wanted it." So, I need your help. Please contact me if 

> you, or ANYONE you know is interested in the program. I want to help 

> out as many young scholars as I can. Don't worry about whether or not 

> you (or they) have taken the GMAT, etc. All you need to do at this 

> point is JUST APPLY.

>

> About the Program: The Master of Art in Management program is designed 

> specifically for liberal arts majors only. The MA degree program is a 

> 10 month intense study of the basic functional areas of  Business. 

> After graduation and working for approximately two years, all MA 

> graduates are eligible to apply to Wake Forest as part of the MA/MBA 

> joint degree program and get the MBA in one year. The new Dean, Steve 

> Reinemund, has created a new scholarship for diverse students pursuing 

> the MA degree called the Corporate Fellowship.

>

> The Corporate Fellowship provides full tuition and a $21,000 stipend 

> to cover living expenses. Additionally, each Corporate Fellow will 

> participate in a practicum. The practicum has two components, 

> educational and professional development. Each student will be 

> assigned a mentor that is a high level executive with their sponsor 

> corporation. The mentor will oversee an educational project covering 4 

> of the functional areas of business using their own corporation as the

> subject.

> The student will visit the corporation 3 - 4 times during the

> program to present his/her results of their research project.

> Additionally, the "professional development" component of the

> fellowship provides career coaching and leadership development for

> the students.

>

> The goal for the corporation is to be able to groom and hopefully, 

> hire a top candidate from a diverse background for their organization. 

> Of course, there is no obligation that the students accept any offer 

> of employment. Still, the student benefits, even if they are not

> ultimately hired by their sponsor corporation in that they have the

> MA degree and the type of experience that will make them more

> marketable.
