>>>>> 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.
