Driving Principles Behind the RCB Fellowship Program

Our Fellowship program aligns with the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) to advance corporate social responsibility through the incorporation of universal values into curricula, research, and professional growth opportunities. The RCB Fellowship program also upholds Rowan graduate-level business school stakeholders’ goals and values, such as the Rowan Center of Responsible Leadership and the RCB mission and vision at large. 

The PRME Six Principles, inspired by the United Nations Global Compact, exemplify the types of business-related issues RCB Fellows will address in their initiatives. By taking action, becoming change agents at the local or community level, and preparing future leaders to solve real-world problems, together we can make a global impact. 

Fellows Go Beyond the Expected 

The Fellows RCB chooses to collaborate with will align their Fellow duties and career trajectories with our mission to achieve positive societal transformation while becoming an economic catalyst for the region. They will seek to advance the Rohrer College of Business’s vision and mission.  

Fellows will have outstanding qualities already in play that, with RCB’s support, will help us achieve our shared mission together.  

Ideal RCB Fellows: 

• will be self-directed and driven to accomplish great things; 
• will embrace challenges and opportunities to bring their visions to reality; 
• have a well-developed area(s) of interest, ideas, and aspirations;
• will have forged relationships and experiences in their business and social passion areas; 
• know how to attain results; 
• are valued and respected by their current peers, supervisors, direct reports, and mentors; and 
• are already on their way to becoming change agents, in their mindset and in their career choices.  

RCB's Commitment to Keeping Fellowships Flexible

Fellows will lead and support an initiative or set of initiatives. One long‐term initiative might span every semester of study through graduation. Multiple short-term initiatives might occur within a given semester or across semesters. RCB is committed to staying flexible so Awardees can balance their Fellowship with their career, family, and academic obligations.
