1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.141
BEING HERE, CONGRATULATIONS.
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> GERRY, BACK TO YOU.
>> KYLIE, THANK YOU.

2
00:00:08.141 --> 00:00:10.377
>> THE ORR FELLOWSHIP HAS JUST
WELCOMED ITS LARGEST CLASS OF
FELLOWS EVER- 68 TOP COLLEGE
GRADS!

3
00:00:10.377 --> 00:00:19.085
THE PROGRAM RECRUITS AND
EVALUATES CANDIDATES BASED ON
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE,
EXTRACURRICULAR INVOLVEMENT, AND

4
00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:27.127
LEADERSHIP QUALITIES AND MATCHES
THEM WITH LOCAL COMPANIES. THIS
YEAR, COLLEGE SENIORS FROM 47
DIFFERENT STATES APPLIED FOR THE

5
00:00:27.127 --> 00:00:34.467
PROGRAM, AND 30 OF THE INCOMING
FELLOWS ARE FROM OUT-OF-STATE.
IN OUR (I) ON EDUCATION, ORR
FELLOWSHIP FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT

6
00:00:34.467 --> 00:00:39.072
SCOTT BRENTON AND DIRECTOR OF
RECRUITMENT KRISTEN MCCAULEY
JOIN US TO EXPLAIN THE
IMPORTANCE AND THE IMPACT OF THE

7
00:00:39.072 --> 00:00:47.981
PROGRAM.
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM.
THE ORR FELLOWSHIP AND SCOTT,
I'LL START WITH YOU, YOU, AND

8
00:00:47.981 --> 00:00:54.187
BILL, AND ANGIE HICKS REALLY GOT
THIS GOING ABOUT 2001, IN THAT
VICINITY.
>> EXACTLY RIGHT.

9
00:00:54.187 --> 00:00:59.058
>> TALK ABOUT HOW IT ALL GOT
STARTED, WHAT WAS THE CONCEPT,
THE IDEA, THAT REALLY GOT THE
BALL ROLLING?

10
00:00:59.058 --> 00:01:09.502
>> YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF THE
CONFLUENCE OF A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT PHENOMENON.
FIRST OFF, WE WERE RUNNING AT

11
00:01:09.502 --> 00:01:17.811
VERY YOUNG ANGIE'S LIST BACK
THEN.
AND BUDGETS WERE TIGHT, AND WE
NEEDED ACCESS TO INEXPENSIVE

12
00:01:17.811 --> 00:01:26.886
LABOR, AND THAT WAS ONE KIND OF
SELFISH INTEREST.
BUT ALSO AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS
A WORD "BRAIN DRAIN."

13
00:01:26.886 --> 00:01:35.628
THAT WAS MENTIONED A LOT IN THE
NEWS AND STUDIED A LOT.
AND WE KIND OF LOOKED AROUND,
AND DIDN'T SEE MUCH KINETIC, OR

14
00:01:35.628 --> 00:01:42.502
ACTIVE RESPONSE TO THAT
PHENOMENON.
AND SO, WE FOUNDED THE
FELLOWSHIP WITH THE IDEA THAT IF

15
00:01:42.502 --> 00:01:49.876
WE COULD KEEP TEN OR 15 REALLY
TALENTED YOUNG PEOPLE IN TOWN
EVERY YEAR, THAT OVER THE COURSE
OF TIME, THAT COULD MAKE A

16
00:01:49.876 --> 00:01:57.851
DIFFERENCE.
>> AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW,
THIS HONORS FORMER GOVERNOR BOB
ORR, ROBERT ORR, WHO, I THINK

17
00:01:57.851 --> 00:02:06.593
HIS LEGACY IN MANY RESPECTS,
CERTAINLY EDUCATION, AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
TALK ABOUT HOW THE PROGRAM

18
00:02:06.593 --> 00:02:15.101
WORKS.
YOU SELECT THESE FLOW
FLOW -- FELLOWS.
>> IT IS A TWO-YEAR POST

19
00:02:15.101 --> 00:02:23.109
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP, ALMOST THE
WAY YOU WOULD SEE A MEDICAL
FELLOWSHIP WORK.
WE RECRUIT FOLKS WHO ARE JUST

20
00:02:23.109 --> 00:02:33.620
COMPLETING THEIR B.A., OR B.S.
DEGREE, AND WE -- THERE'S A
MATCH-MAKING PROCESS WHERE WE
MATCH THEM WITH FAST-GROWING

21
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:39.292
COMPANIES HERE IN CENTRAL
INDIANA.
AND THEY ARE EMPLOYEES OF THAT
COMPANY IN EVERY SENSE.

22
00:02:39.292 --> 00:02:46.833
THE COMPANY PAYS THEIR SALARY,
AND PROVIDES THEIR BENEFITS.
AND THEN FOR A PERIOD OF TWO
YEARS, THEY'RE ENGAGED IN THE

23
00:02:46.833 --> 00:02:54.674
KIND OF CURRICULUM AND COMMUNITY
INVOLVEMENT THAT THE ORR
FELLOWSHIP BRINGS TO THE TABLE.
>> TALK ABOUT, AGAIN, WELCOMING

24
00:02:54.674 --> 00:03:05.251
NOW YOUR LARGEST CLASS EVER.
SO THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING.
THE SUCCESS OF THE ORR
FELLOWSHIP CONTINUES TO UNFOLD.

25
00:03:05.251 --> 00:03:10.390
WHAT MAKES THIS AN ATTRACTIVE
SITUATION?
>> FOR ME, I CAME FROM OUT OF
STATE.

26
00:03:10.390 --> 00:03:17.530
I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
THROUGH AN EMAIL.
VERY SIMPLE, HEY, HERE IS THIS
FELLOWSHIP, BUT THE VALUE THAT

27
00:03:17.530 --> 00:03:23.002
IT PROVIDED TO ME WAS SO
DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE FROM ANY
OTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT I HAD
SEEN OUT THERE.

28
00:03:23.002 --> 00:03:32.145
AND JUST THE CHANCE TO MOVE TO A
NEW CITY, BUT ALSO BE SURROUNDED
BY 130 OTHER YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
WHO WERE SIMILARLY DRIVEN AND

29
00:03:32.145 --> 00:03:38.751
LIKE-MINDED, BUT DIVERSE IN
THEIR PASSIONS AND TALENTS, WAS
REALLY ATTRACTIVE TO ME.
IN ADDITION TO HAVING A

30
00:03:38.751 --> 00:03:47.060
FULL-TIME CAREER, BEING ABLE TO
GET THAT STARTED, BUT SET MYSELF
UP FOR SUCCESS WITH ADDITIONAL
CURRICULUM, THINGS LIKE THAT,

31
00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:50.930
AND CONTINUED EDUCATION.
>> YOU'RE ALREADY RECRUITING FOR
2020.
>> CORRECT, YEAH.

32
00:03:50.930 --> 00:03:58.071
OUR APPLICATION OPENED AUGUST 1,
AND OPEN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 29
FOR COLLEGE SENIORS WHO ARE
GRADUATING DECEMBER 2019, OR MAY

33
00:03:58.071 --> 00:04:04.043
2020.
>> SCOTT, AS WE WRAP UP,
EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT THE BRAIN
DRAIN, MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AND

34
00:04:04.043 --> 00:04:10.149
INITIATIVES NOW.
I LOOK AT THE ORR FELLOWSHIP AS
THE FIRST, OR ONE OF THE FIRST
PROGRAMS TO REALLY ATTACK THE

35
00:04:10.149 --> 00:04:18.958
BRAIN DRAIN.
>> WELL, THAT'S FLATTERING,
GERRY, I APPRECIATE IT.
IT IS FUNNY THAT TODAY LEADERS

36
00:04:18.958 --> 00:04:27.867
IN OUR STATE, WHETHER IT'S
TECHPOINT, OR T MAP, OR SOME OF
THE OTHER FOLKS WHO YOU PROFILE
AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH, THEY'RE

37
00:04:27.867 --> 00:04:34.741
WORKING HARD TO TRY TO MAKE
HUMAN CAPITAL COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE IN THE STATE OF
INDIANA.

38
00:04:34.741 --> 00:04:44.517
AND SO, I SUPPOSE WE'RE KIND OF
PROUD OF THE FACT THAT OUR
PROGRAM HAS HOSTED 456 STUDENTS
HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM.

39
00:04:44.517 --> 00:04:50.623
AND NOW WE FIND OURSELVES KIND
OF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT
FIGHT.
AND WE'LL KEEP SWINGING.

40
00:04:50.623 --> 00:04:56.996
>> MANY OF THE 400 PLUS WORKING
IN CENTRAL INDIANA, AS WELL.
THAT'S IMPORTANT.
SCOTT, ONE OF THE FOUNDERS,
