Six DePauw Seniors Selected for Orr Entrepreneurial Fellowships
January 9, 2015
Six DePauw University seniors have been selected for the 2015 class of the Governor Robert D. Orr Entrepreneurial Fellowship program. They are among about 45 Indiana and Ohio college students offered Orr Fellowships following their graduation. Approximately 800 students applied for the award.
Named after Indiana's 45th governor, the Orr Fellowships offer two-year placements in an entry-level job and leadership training including monthly meetings with some of Indiana's top entrepreneurs and business leaders. In addition, Orr Fellows attend entrepreneurial events and symposiums throughout the state and engage themselves in social and community service-related activities. Throughout these activities and experiences, the Governor Bob Orr Fellowship hopes to retain Indiana's top graduate talent, and aid in the development of Indiana's economy.
The DePauw total of six matched last year's record high.
These are the DePauw students who have been selected for the Orr Fellowship Class of 2015, along with their host companies:
- Eric Bruynseels, Teradata
- Maggie Campbell, Element 3
- Katharine Funke, OurHealth
- Amanda Stephens, Angie's List
- Abigail Thompson, Milhaus
- Hailey Ware, RICS
Orr Fellows benefit from executive-level mentorship at their host companies, build a professional network through business leader meetings (presentations and opportunities to build relationships with leaders in the Indiana business community), and join a peer network of other talented recent college graduates over their two-year time in the Fellowship. Since its inception in 2001, the Orr Fellowship has placed more than 230 fellows with some of Indiana’s most dynamic companies.
