Tepper School Establishes The James R. Swartz Entrepreneurial Fellowship Program
Twelve Students Selected to Participate in Mentored Internship Experience, Enhanced Curriculum in Entrepreneurship
PITTSBURGH – Beginning this summer, twelve promising MBA students at the Tepper School of Business who have shown an entrepreneurial edge will gain invaluable knowledge of business ventures through a new hands-on mentorship program. As the first James R. Swartz Entrepreneurial Fellows, these select students will combine Tepper’s leading curriculum in entrepreneurship with an exclusive, mentorship-driven internship over the summer and a leadership-focused experiential program throughout their second year of MBA studies.
The new Fellows Program is the result of a generous gift from renowned venture capitalist James R. Swartz, a graduate of the Tepper School of Business and co-founder of Accel Partners, a global venture capital firm that counts several of the most significant revolutions in technology businesses among its investments, including Veritas Software, RealNetworks and Macromedia.
The first-year Tepper students selected as the first Swartz Fellows are Nathan Allen, Ernest Braxton, Gregory Clumpner, Jesse Goellner, Amanda Fox, Amanjyot Johar, Eric Koger, Nicole Smith, Sola Tabai, Tony Thai, Mark Thomas and Adil Wali. Students are selected for the program based on their demonstrated leadership skills, passion for entrepreneurship and innovation, and overall academic excellence.
“These students represent some of the best and brightest minds in entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon,” said Arthur A. Boni, John R. Thorne Chair of Entrepreneurship at the Tepper School. “This new program will give them an unparalleled experience and learning opportunity that will serve them for a lifetime throughout their future endeavors.”
