CLE Fellows
This selective program offers MBA students in their first year the opportunity to partake in additional leadership-focused workshops and instruction in the spring semester. With an emphasis on leadership, conflict management, and ethics topics, this curriculum serves to prepare CLE Fellows to actively mentor incoming first year MBA study teams in the fall. Through the program, students gain real life management experience with individuals and teams along with leadership coaching on conflict management, organizational culture, and how to give and receive candid feedback.
The life of a CLE fellow begins after acceptance to the fellowship program. Kicking off in their first year Spring Semester, fellows begin their time in the program engaging in a weekly lecture and discussion series led by guest speakers ranging from heads of Fortune 500 companies to renowned professors and experts in fields such as behavioral economics and ethics. Through these interactions and workshops, students learn how to define their own values system, how to engage different types of leaders, and how to manage conflict on a situational and emotional level. The goal is to provide a level of introspection and leadership coaching that our fellows can then bring to incoming first year students.
At the start of their second year, our CLE Fellows work closely with incoming first year student groups to facilitate team building and mentorship. CLE Fellows are often the first interaction point between second year students and incoming students, which starts with a simple phone call from a CLE Fellow to a new student in an effort to provide a supportive and helpful resource for new students. The fellows are the source of student support and mentorship for the incoming class.
As the dedicated body of students focused on Ethics and Leadership at McCombs, the CLE Fellows work closely with the Center and the Program Office on perfecting study group interactions and ensuring that each student and each study group has a meaningful and positive experience as they adjust to being back in school. While our CLE Fellows focus on making sure our first year students bond and build out their leadership skills, the cohort of fellows also maintains close-knit relationships with one another and serve as coaches, advocates, and friends to each other as they continue recruiting and exploring life after McCombs.
