Golub Capital Board Fellows Program
Cultivating opportunities for impact through nonprofit board service
Golub Capital Board Fellows is a program of Kellogg's Golub Capital Social Impact Lab and is a rigorous, program that connects top Kellogg MBA students to nonprofits for a distinct opportunity in board service. Fellows serve as ex-officio board members while simultaneously completing two courses in board governance at Kellogg. Fellows have a lasting impact on their nonprofit partners by completing a meaningful project over the course of the fellowship.

Our Purpose
The purpose of the Golub Capital Board Fellows Program is three-fold:
- To prepare Kellogg students to be socially responsible leaders through academic training in board governance and experiential learning through service on nonprofit boards.
- To support nonprofit organizations by applying fellows’ professional experience and academic backgrounds to solve strategic, organizational and operational issues that enhance the work of nonprofit boards.
- To build Kellogg's reputation for producing strong, socially responsible, community-oriented leaders while making a positive impact in the Chicago area.
