Isenberg Fellows RAP
The Isenberg Fellows RAP is a first-year residential academic program
divided into two areas; Business in Society, and
Diversity & International Business. Choosing to be a
Fellow will give you an opportunity to explore current
business issues with a small group of students who all
live in the same residence hall. Business in Society
Fellows will look at the impact of businesses in the
community, with an emphasis on ethics and community
service. Diversity & International Business
Fellows will examine global issues, diversity, and the
opportunities presented by the growing field of
international business.
All Isenberg Fellows
will receive the following benefits:
Faculty Mentor
As an Isenberg Fellow you will have the unique
opportunity to develop a close relationship with an
Isenberg professor. You will attend a one-credit seminar
taught by the faculty member, and through this
connection you will receive additional support with your
transition to UMass while helping you to realize
exciting possibilities in your field.
Focused Activities
In addition to teaching a seminar, each Faculty
Mentor will facilitate activities that give you a chance
to take your learning out of the classroom and apply it
to opportunities in your field. These activities
will connect you with UMass, the surrounding area, and
Isenberg alumni so that you can take advantage of the
benefits of being an Isenberg student from your very
first day at college.
Shared Courses
Through the program you will take several courses in
your residence hall. These shared courses create the
environment and support of a small school while you
continue to benefit from the range of resources and
options that only a large university can offer.
Immediate Connection to the Isenberg School of
Management
As a member of this close-knit group of Fellows, you
will receive personalized and dedicated attention.
You will have academic advising in your residence hall.
You will also be able to participate in activities over
the summer so that you can get a head start meeting your
fellow students and getting to know UMass. Fellows are also eligible
for early check-in to the residence hall and social
activities over the first weekend.
