One mark of excellence is continuous improvement. Indeed, Tuck would not have been able to remain a premier school of business for over 100 years without working continuously to enrich and adapt our offerings and the educational experience overall. The result is that today Tuck offers an education that blends the best of tradition and innovation.

Under the auspices of the Jonathan L. Cohen D'60, T'61 Leadership Development Program, leadership skills are developed at Tuck through a structured yet flexible set of courses, projects, speakers, and experiences that take place both inside and outside the classroom. We are undertaking new initiatives designed to help students gain self-knowledge through peer feedback, coaching, and implementing a personal leadership-development plan.

Effective business leaders must also have a strong sense of business ethics, an understanding of social enterprise, and a familiarity with the management tools that facilitate corporate responsibility. The James M. Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship aids the school's efforts to integrate learning about these issues into the educational experience. Tuck is also working to expand students' opportunities to design and undertake research and projects involving corporate citizenship.

Tuck has an enviable record of preparing graduates to become successful entrepreneurs. Nonetheless, there are many elements-conferences, incubators, business plan competitions, all of which are offered by most of our competitors-that should be incorporated into the MBA experience to develop students' entrepreneurial mindsets, instincts, and skills.

To bolster our position at the leading edge of business education, the campaign will raise funds for a wide variety of new and existing initiatives designed to enrich the MBA experience.

OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT MBA PROGRAM INITIATIVES

Leadership Development: Tuck will help students gain the insight and aptitude to expand their leadership abilities through the activities of the Cohen Leadership Development Program. Building on feedback systems, professional coaching, and opportunities to practice their skills, students will implement an individual leadership development plan suited to their needs and goals.

Student Endeavors in Corporate Citizenship: Under the guidance of the Allwin Initiative, students will pursue an increasing number of opportunities for exploring the issues surrounding corporate citizenship, such as creating case studies, working with nonprofits, and hosting speakers and conferences.

International Nonprofit Field Study Projects: The popular Field Study in International Business elective exposes student teams to the challenges of conducting business in an international setting. Funding will enable students to undertake strategic projects for international nonprofit organizations.

Research Center MBA Fellows: Each year, several of Tuck's academic centers provide select students with the opportunity to explore their industry interest by serving as MBA Fellows. Students participate in center research projects, events, and alumni outreach.

Business-Plan Competition: This competition encourages entrepreneurial teams from Tuck, Dartmouth, and greater New England to test the viability of their business plans with members of the venture capital community.

Entrepreneurship Workshop Series: Through the Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship, quarterly workshops are held featuring industry practitioners and experts.
