How are Impact Fellowships structured?

Impact Fellowships are designed by the student and the sponsoring organization with input from the MBA Director, and where appropriate other MBA faculty or staff members. MBA internship work is typically project-based. You might think of MBA Impact fellows as consultants. Projects must deliver concrete value to an organization in a specified period of time.
