Through our partnership with the Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership, Full Circle Fund has just added a UC Berkeley Student from the Haas School of Business to our team as summer intern. Michelle Poon was a student in the new Economics of Philanthropy course at UC Berkeley which was co-taught by Dr. Nora Silver, Amy Lesnick, and Full Circle Fund Fellow Darian Heyman Rodriguez. The course was essentially a collegiate giving circle, was modeled after Full Circle Fund, and resulted in two grants being awarded, based on the students’ research, vetting process, and group decision-making.
Michelle, who graduates in 2011, will be assisting with ramp-up and population of the new Member Platform, marketing and impact initiatives, research, attending Circle meetings (especially in her personal interest area, Education) and shadowing key leaders to learn more about engaged philanthropy, education policy, and the Full Circle Fund model. Make sure to say hello to Michelle when you meet her this summer!
