> Greetings Brothers,
>
> 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 take advantage of it and 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.   In business, you have to act when the opportunity is
> presented, and that is now.
>
> 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.
>
> Wake Forest University has an opportunity for minority students to attend 
> their MBA program for FREE, and so far, the response has been very poor. 
> Please, 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. See details below.
