The Rice Business Board Fellows program is a year-long experiential learning program that matches talented, energetic, and committed Rice MBA students as fellows on local nonprofit boards to serve as non-voting board members.

Both students and organizations benefit from the Rice Business Board Fellows program:
Organizations gain access to the ideas and energy of future business leaders with the possibility of cultivating potential new board members. MBA candidates learn valuable leadership skills from community leaders and gain experience in the nonprofit sector from “real life” non-profit management and governance.

Students and organizations must apply in order to participate in the program. Once they are chosen, the board fellows and organizations are then matched according to the student’s skills and background and the organization’s needs. The student’s personal interest in an area of service provided by the nonprofit is also considered.
