Career. Community. Connections.

The Business Fellows program at the Lindner College of Business provides underrepresented students from a variety of backgrounds with wrap-around support to achieve professional and personal success. By fostering career connections, community and leadership development, Business Fellows empowers future business leaders to solve problems that matter. Business Fellows advances a culture of inclusion and belonging within Lindner and at the University of Cincinnati as a whole.    

Article: Lindner Business Fellows celebrates over a decade of success 

The Lindner Business Fellows program has grown exponentially since its founding in 2011. Business Fellows students are campus leaders, serving as Student Body President and executive board members in dozens of other organizations. They have been recognized for their accomplishments through being named to the Dean's List, voted as Homecoming King and Queen by their peers, and selected as Presidential Leadership Medal of Excellence recipients.  

A critical focus of the program is empowering Business Fellows students to develop their personal community, make professional connections, and plan their future careers. The Lindner College of Business seeks to provide professional development experiences for these students that will prepare them for life after graduation. Such opportunities include, but are not limited to: 

• Domestic "study away" trips with Business Fellows students and staff, with opportunities to connect with Lindner alumni for company visits and personal networking.
• The Spring Talent Preview, a networking reception for employers to exclusively connect with Business Fellows students, held in conjunction with the annual UC Career Fair.
• The Toast, the annual end of year celebration, recognizing graduating Business Fellows students and program supporters.  

We are asking alumni and donors to make a gift to support this program and its students. Funds raised will be used to strengthen existing and create new programmatic opportunities for Lindner Business Fellows students. If you would like to make a pledge payment over multiple years, please contact Justin Gibson at 513-556-3460.
