Paganucci Fellows Program
Overview
The Paganucci Fellows Program is a unique opportunity for Dartmouth students to take part in a social entrepreneurship program being offered by the Center for Leadership at the Tuck School of Business. In general, the program supports Tuck’s efforts to study complex social issues and the ways in which businesses can create positive social and financial value; in effect, the “double bottom line.” The topic this year will address global poverty. The 2012 Paganucci Fellowships will be targeted at students with an interest in business solutions to societal problems, an aptitude for working collaboratively as part of a consulting-like team, and an appetite for making a difference in the world.
Applications for Summer 2012 internships due end of day Sunday, April 1, 2012
Position
Five Dartmouth students will be selected to become Paganucci Fellows, a prestigious position that provides a summer internship working closely with a project manager and direction from Tuck faculty.
The subject matter for 2012 will likely be related to the "$300 House for the Poor" project at Tuck. Paganucci Fellows will identify, collect, and synthesize information and resources to study this issue from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. The emphasis will be on understanding how solutions that require cooperation and collaboration between the business sector, governments, and non-governmental organizations can be formulated and implemented. Please note that the decision about subject matter is not yet final. Information about last year's topic and Fellows can be found here.
For the work over eight (8) weeks (40 hour work week) in the summer of 2012, each Fellow will be paid $5,000.
