Alex Mullins of Mount Vernon, OH, Named Economics Management Fellow at Ohio Wesleyan University
DELAWARE, OH (09/24/2020)-- Alex Mullins of Mount Vernon, OH, is among 16 first-year students at Ohio Wesleyan University selected as 2020-2021 Economics Management Fellows.
The competitive, four-year fellowships are awarded each fall by Ohio Wesleyan's Department of Economics and Business and by the university's Woltemade Center for Economics, Business and Entrepreneurship.
At OWU, Mullins intends to major in finance economics.
To be considered for the fellowship program, students must indicate an interest in studying economics, business administration management, marketing, finance, accounting, or international business on their OWU applications; have high-school records and/or SAT or ACT scores that indicate a potential for high achievement at Ohio Wesleyan; and complete personal interviews with Economics and Business Department faculty.
Being selected for the EMF program ensures the first-year students receive an academic adviser from the Economics and Business Department, receive sophomore or junior peer-mentors as freshmen, and are paired with professional mentors as seniors.
Fellows also are enrolled in a first-year seminar open only to them. The seminar is team-taught by the entire Economics and Business Department, helping the students to quickly build relationships with their new professors.
In addition, they traditionally have taken a faculty-escorted study trip to New York City, with potential visits to the New York Federal Reserve and New York Stock Exchange, as well as meetings with distinguished Ohio Wesleyan alumni and professionals working in the city in business and government.
