A new University program will bring 41 young female professionals from abroad to campus for a legal and business fellowship program, Penn officials announced yesterday.
The Legal and Business Fellowship Program will run from March 18 through April 13, offering participants an executive education at either Penn Law or Wharton.
The LBPF is sponsored by Penn Law School, the Wharton Business School and the National Council for International Visitors and is funded by the U.S. Department of State Middle East Partnership Initiative.
Criteria for acceptance into the program include leadership potential, commitment to professional growth in both the legal and business realms within local economies and knowledge of English.
Professional women from countries like Algeria, Israel, Iraq and Lebanon who are 22 or 23 years old are eligible to apply.
"The LBFP is intended to provide talented young women working in business and law with opportunities to learn management, business and legal skills while working in the U.S. business and legal environments," Penn President Amy Gutmann said in a press release.
