Events To Support The CASE Summer Internship Program The CASE Summer Internship Program enables first year Duke MBA-Daytime students to learn about the rewards and challenges of social sector management without making a significant financial sacrifice. In addition, the program enables organizations that otherwise could not afford to hire MBA student interns to benefit from students’ expertise in areas such as finance, management consulting, strategic planning and marketing. A list of past summer internships here.

2010 CASE Summer Internship Fund (SIF)

The CASE SIF is a fund that enables students to learn about the rewards and challenges of social sector management during their summer internship without making a significant financial sacrifice. In addition, the program enables organizations that otherwise could not afford to hire MBA student interns to benefit from students’ expertise in areas such as finance, management consulting, strategic planning and marketing. In 2009, the CASE SIF enabled 22 students to receive summer funding to explore careers in the social sector! (Thank you to everyone who was involved in fundraising, and congratulations to everyone who engaged in internships in the social sector!) Looking Forward We want to continue to position SIF as a differentiating element for MBA students seeking careers in the social sector; therefore, our plan is to grow the fund considerably over the next few years through a larger and wider student led fundraising effort. We need your help on the CASE SIF Taskforce to ensure that we have increased funds in 2010! During the coming months, the CASE SIF Taskforce will assist in the planning and implementation of annual events consisting of Stache Bash, Cap & Gown Rentals, and Give a Day Campaign; historically, these events have represented the bulk of the funds raised. However, this year we want to go further. Plans are underway for two new events: 1) an all you can eat sweets extravaganza (think bake sale done Fuqua style), & 2) a finals pizza and sandwich study break. How You Can Play a Leadership Role We would also like to ask that all Net Impact Members who are able and interested join the CASE SIF Taskforce. Please complete the following Google Document if you are interested: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnHOsCFB9HzydDZRdTFfRVdDQTMyMmtHQlU3T2ZWQkE&hl=en. Next Steps The CASE SIF Taskforce will be led by Net Impact Finance cabinet members Paige Elisha and Alfonso Puente. During the coming weeks, we will reach out to provide more information about fundraising in Fall 2. Please reach out to either Paige (paige.elisha@fuqua.duke.edu) or Alfonso (alfonso.puente@fuqua.duke.edu) if you have any questions or fundraising suggestions.
