Make Connections. Learn to Lead.
The University of California Summer Institute for Emerging Managers and Leaders is an all-expenses-paid, careerbuilding fellowship which provides intensive two-week training to first- and second-year students from historically black
colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs).
As a participant in the program, you'll learn from world-class educators at the University of California's graduate business
schools. You'll meet one-on-one with CEOs, CFOs and other industry leaders in some of the country's most thriving hubs
for enterprise and innovation. You'll participate in dynamic, hands-on workshops that will immerse you in principles of
business development and entrepreneurship and help build analytical, technical and management expertise. You'll gain
exposure to opportunities for career development and for continuing on to pursue a master's degree in business. And
you'll make valuable connections with your peers in the program, some of the country’s best and brightest.
In short, you'll get a running start on your future.
This fellowship offers students from HBCUs and HSIs an unrivalled opportunity to launch their future in business
management.
