>> 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.
