Lester Center Fellows
Beginning in 1996-1997 the Lester Center has selected successful Bay Area entrepreneurs as Lester Fellows. They act as leaders, mentors and educators to students during their one-year appointment. They hold scheduled office hours for students who need advice or help with their business ideas and careers. The Fellows are also judges of the MBA students' class projects. The opportunity to personally meet and network with the Fellows is a great opportunity for many students. The Fellows are honored by their appointment and are eager to take part in campus activities. Availability of appointments with mentors is announced by e-mail. If you'd like to sign up for e-mail announcements, you can do so on our Contact page.
