Alumni Spotlights - Management Fellows Program

Luke Bestard '19

DePauw has a very strong and connected community of professional alumni and I would credit a lot of that to Management Fellows. The program is far greater than just an avenue for a semester-long internship and the opportunity to meet important businessmen and women on a weekly basis. The program facilitates the growth of DePauw students as professionals. The alumni connected to the program care about DePauw and the current students. They take countless hours out of their work days to travel to DePauw and provide students with the wisdom and business acumen that they have learned throughout their careers. The insights are valuable, and I think Management Fellows sometimes take that for granted, myself included. Overall, I feel that the Management Fellows program, the internship experience, and the people that make it run have played a very important role in helping me to apply all the knowledge I have gained here to a professional business setting.
