About the Fellowships
Leadership Fellows: Through a rigorous selection process, 40 first-year MBA students are chosen every January to serve as Leadership Fellow during their second year. Historically, 100-150 students apply to be a Leadership Fellow. Fellows are charged with providing every first year student the opportunity to enhance their leadership potential through the development of practical tools and concrete strategies applicable in every area of their lives. To achieve this goal, the Citigroup Foundation sponsors a thorough training program for the Fellows that gives them greater awareness of, and exposure to, the leadership skills of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, group facilitation, and conflict mediation. Along with these skill-building training sessions, the Leadership Program delivers team-building social opportunities to unite and encourage teamwork amongst the Leadership Fellows. Venture Fellows: Early April, 24 first year students are chosen from a competitive pool of 80-100 applicants to serve as Venture Fellows in their second year. The primary role of the Venture Fellow is to create an environment for both individual and team leadership development on a specific Wharton Leadership Venture. Venture Fellows fulfill this role by facilitating learning, mentoring participants, and providing logistical support for the Venture. The National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), the Wilderness Medicine Institute (WMI), and WLV faculty and staff, provide trainings for the Venture Fellows who are responsible for the design and delivery of the educational curriculum of the Venture.
