Leavey Students Selected for Hackworth Fellowship

Two Leavey School of Business school students have been chosen for the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics Hackworth Fellowship. These fellowships are awarded to rising seniors who are charged with the task of pursuing a unique program or project of ethical significance focused on engagement with their fellow Santa Clara University students.

Krishan Allen is an economics major from Emerald Hills, Calif. He will research methods of integrating ethical goals into investment practice, and aims to explain how students can attain both social and financial returns within their investment portfolios. Logan Peterson is a finance major from Scottsdale, Ariz., will focus on the Big Q, the Center’s social media campaign to involve undergraduates in discussion about the ethical issues in the everyday lives of undergraduates.

The fellowships are for the duration of senior year and have a stipend of $4,000. Fellows are expected either to develop their own programs in an area of interest to them or to work with existing programs at the center. These programs can be on as wide a range of topics and use as wide a range of methods as are of interest to each Fellow.

Fellows are expected to spend five hours a week on Fellowship activities. Fellows are also expected to participate in Ethics Center events. Some preparatory work may be required of Fellows during the summer before senior year.

The Fellowship is open to students from all majors. However, a demonstrated interest in ethics is a significant factor in favor of an applicant. Fellows are expected to be on campus at SCU for the Fall, Winter and Spring quarters of their senior year. The Hackworth Fellowships are supported by a gift from Joan and the late Michael Hackworth.
