Business school announces Gordon Fellowship winners
By Mauricio Rios
Kansan staff writer
Six KU students out of 68 applicants in the School of Business were honored by being selected for the Dale Gordon Undergraduate Fellowship Program this year.
The fellowship, which was established in 1988, not only represents economic aid for students, said Charles Krider, associate dean of the business school, who said opportunity for students to work with him is important in areas of mutual interest, he said.
The students who received fellowships this year are Arun Anora, Shawne senior; Julie Bird, Overland Park senior; Jose Hein, Lenexa senior; Kristan Kling, Topeka senior; Jennifer Martinez, Lawrence senior; and Tracy Transmeir, Lawrence senior.
The fellowship is named for Dale Gordon, a 1943 KU alumnus of the business school.
Krider said Gordon, who now works in Wichita in the photographic supply
industry, wanted to help business students because he had to work his way through college.
The Gordon Fellowship is unique because it allows students to work closely with faculty members, he said.
"The intent is to be a mentor to the student, to develop a closer relation with the faculty," he said. "It's the only fellowship where there is learning and money combined."
The students are required to work 15 hours a week with their mentors. The fellowship lasts 9 months, and students are given $3,600, which covers tuition and other expenses.
Krider said students were chosen on the basis of four main requirements. The student:
must be a Kansas resident;
must have a good academic record:
- **must prove a need for financial support and**
must be sponsored by a mentor.
Arun Arora, one of the fellowship winners, said the fellowship was going
to be a good learning experience.
Arora, who has a 3.9 grade point average, said he had other scholarships that helped him pay for his college expenses. He also works for the investment banking department at B.C. Christopher Securities, a business firm in the Kansas City area.
"The Gordon Fellowship is a big deal," he said. "I feel very honored, and I have a lot of gratitude toward my teacher."
Arora's mentor for the fellowship was Deepak Datta, associate professor of business.
Datta said the objective of the fellowship was to develop a mentor relationship.
"It's like a one-on-one relationship," he said.
Datta said professors were elected by a school committee to be mentors and that he therefore felt it was a privilege for him to take part in the fellowship program.
"It provides an opportunity to work with good students,"he said.

More and more PhDs across the country are recommending Hewlett-Packard finmen and sci-tech students and foreign students. And for some very strong reasons.
"The HP 485X Scientific Expandable has powerful graphics tools that are remarkably helpful to students learning mathematical concepts. And with the equation solver feature, it's excellent for applying mathematics to engineering, civil engineering, the mayer, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Utah state University.
"The HP Business Consultant II has an equation solver and equation solver and extensive math functions. These free the students from computational tedium so they can think and interact on a higher level."
says Dr. Lee V. Stiff, a professor of math education at North Carolina State University.
