FREE MASTERS PROGRAM AT WAKE FOREST RECEIVES POOR RESPONSE
Wake Forest University has an opportunity for minority students to attend
its MBA program for FREE, and so far, the response has been very poor.
Please, pass along this opportunity to your friends, families, and
networks to see if there is an interest. This is a great school and a
tremendous opportunity to attend a top graduate school.

Message from Derrick S. Boone, Ph.D.:
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.
