Governor Bob Orr Entrepreneurial Fellowship Recipients Named

Now welcoming the second year of recipients, these two-year placements offer an entry-level job and leadership training including monthly meetings with some of Indiana's top entrepreneurs and business leaders.

In addition, Orr Fellows attend entrepreneurial events and symposiums throughout the state and engage themselves in social and community service-related activities. Throughout these activities and experiences, the Governor Bob Orr Fellowship hopes to retain Indiana's top graduate talent, and aid in the development of Indiana's economy.
