>>StartingBloc: Building A Generation of Young Leaders & Entrepreneurs
>>
>>StartingBloc's Institute for Social Innovation is a competitive and 
>>selective fellowship program that educates and trains outstanding 
>>and diverse young leaders on topics at the intersection of business 
>>and society: Corporate Social Responsibility, Social 
>>Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Development.  By working with top 
>>graduate and business schools, StartingBloc is able to provide 
>>business and civic education to undergraduates and young 
>>professionals seeking to excel in their careers upon graduation. We 
>>are interested in sophomores, juniors, seniors and recent graduates 
>>who are eager to use business to drive positive social change 
>>through both for-profit and non-profit enterprise.  The 2004-2005 
>>Institute attracted over 125 young leaders from 37 colleges and 
>>universities around the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = 
>>"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />United States. These 
>>leaders came from 39 countries, spoke 47 different languages and 
>>represented every academic major.  
>>
>>Are you looking for competitive jobs and internships?
>>
>>StartingBloc partners with corporations and social enterprises from 
>>diverse industries to recruit StartingBloc Fellows and alumni. 
>>Each year members of the Institute are recruited by top firms for 
>>internships and full-time job opportunities. Last year, students 
>>continued on to Goldman Sachs, The Federal Reserve Bank, National 
>>Students Partnerships, the United Way, Lehman Brothers, KLD 
>>Research and Analytics, McKinsey and Co., and many more!

>>Thinking about Business School or Graduate School?
>>Are you thinking about the next academic step after college but don 
>>t know where to look for more information? The Institute is the 
>>only program focused on bringing young leaders together with MBA 
>>and graduate school admissions officers and faculty at top schools 
>>to learn more about accessing the programs they need to develop 
>>their careers. Institute training sessions are held at various 
>>graduate or business schools offering you an exclusive sneak 
>>preview of the institution.
