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.
