Â鶹ֱ²¥ is excited to announce the 2023 Orr Fellows, alumnus
Ben Kompar '22 and current student Drew Thornton '23. Orr Fellowship is a two-year, post-graduate experience, which targets hardworking college students who want to hone their business and entrepreneurial skills while working a full-time salaried position. Becoming an Orr Fellow is a huge deal. On average, Orr Fellowship only accepts less than eight percent of those who apply each year.
That’s fantastic news for Orr Fellow Kompar ‘22, a Â鶹ֱ²¥ marketing graduate. He will work at hc1, an Indianapolis Cloud-based precision health platform, as a business
analyst.
“I am excited for the opportunity to work for hc1,” said Kompar ’22. “I feel lucky that I get to work for a company that is leveraging data to improve lives.”
Thornton ’23, who’s a double major in marketing, nutrition, fitness and wellness will work for Offprem Technology.
“Everything I’ve done and continue to do here at Â鶹ֱ²¥ has prepared me to put my best efforts in place and succeed, Thornton ’23 said. “These meaningful connections in my future career mean I am well prepared to be a leader in the world.”
To enhance those leadership skills, Orr Fellow participants complete a unique curriculum designed to challenge and further their professional development through mentoring and acquiring new skills for career excellence and success.
