Board Fellows Program
The Board Fellows program provides students with the opportunity to serve on the board of a non-profit organization in Bloomington or Indianapolis. This experience is unique as it combines project responsibilities, as dictated by the organization, for the Board Fellow to commit to during the year along with responsibilities typical of a board member. Not only will students be able to enhance their business skills, but also they will be able to take on an integrated role in the organization.
