Calling All Fall 2012 Consortium Applicants!

Gorges, thanks for introducing yourself and good luck, please don't forget to add yourself to the Consortium roll call if you haven't already... below you will find partial answers to your ques.

This is the excerpt from accepted.com:

Linda Abraham: Great, thank you very much. Angeline asks, "What do you look for when evaluating candidates for fellowships, specifically the Park Leadership and Consortium?"

Ann Richards: For the Park Leadership Program – well, for any of our scholarship or fellowship money – we’re really looking for outstanding candidates to our MBA program, but also people who will contribute and add value to our program, who’ll be a good fit, and who bring some unique experience.

Regarding the Park Fellowship, which is limited just to U.S. citizens, we’re looking for standout leaders, those candidates who have either prior leadership experience or tremendous leadership potential, who with some cultivation will go on to be tomorrow’s business leaders.

Now, in addition to the application that you have to write for the Park consideration, we also are implementing a scholarship weekend this year where we invite a number of students to come to campus and participate in some leadership and team-building activities, to get the opportunity to meet current students, and also to meet some of the faculty and staff. At the culmination of that weekend, we’ll announce students who have been selected for a Park Fellowship, or other named scholarships or fellowships.

Regarding the Consortium Fellowship, we’re really looking for, once again, is candidates who will be leaders, who will add value to our program, and who will help us to make this school better. We really like and value those students who want to work to improve all of the activities and events that they’re participating in.

So we’re not just looking for the folks who are the 4.0 or the straight-A students; we’re really looking for students who do implement change, embrace change, and try to make everything that they are a part of better and stronger, who have a track record of success in their career and in their personal and professional life.
