A note from IDEO staff...
"IDEO.org is accepting applications for our fourth class of Global Fellows! Over the past three years, you have helped us find and cultivate future leaders in the social sector with incredible success. Today, we invite you to apply, spread the word, and support us in selecting a new team to improve the lives of people in low-income communities around the world.
We are looking for leaders in the social sector who have demonstrated professional experience improving lives in low-income communities.
The IDEO.org Fellowship Program enables future global leaders from the business and social sectors to spend a year working full-time with experienced designers on social impact challenges in the United States and around the world. Fellows will create solutions for nonprofits, social enterprises, and foundations on an array of topics, like agriculture, water and sanitation, health, financial inclusion, unemployment, and more. Collaborating in small multidisciplinary teams, Fellows learn, grow, and innovate to make the world a better place. If you’re ready to join a team that’s passionate about ending poverty and have the experience and skillset to make it a reality, this is exactly what you’ve been looking for...
Because you’ve always wanted to...
- Tackle poverty-related challenges and see real impact from your work.
- Gain expertise in human-centered design and work with world-class designers.
- Travel the world while connecting and designing with individuals and communities firsthand.
We're a match if...

- You are an excellent communicator with great instincts about how to synthesize and tell a captivating story, build a deep rapport, and give honest feedback.
- You are used to working across industries and disciplines and comfortable embedded in multidisciplinary teams.
Have what it takes?

- English fluency (written and spoken). Additional language capabilities are preferred.

Interested in the BUSPH Arts Society? Take this quick poll!
A request from our potential Arts Society at BUSPH. They would like your feedback!
"We're a group of BUSPH students aspiring to initiate a group that aims to unify students and faculty to create a space for health leaders that incorporates knowledge and appreciation of The Arts in Public Health. Our proposed BUSPH Arts Society will endeavor to promote the arts as a means to create better public health interventions. It will incorporate dance, music, photography, culinary arts, visual arts, theater as a method to cultivate understanding and tolerance of public health issues through awareness and education.
We would like to get a better idea of the interest among students and faculty before launching this group. We have been collaborating with Moises Fernandez from the Arts Outreach Initiative within the BU School of Medicine Diversity and Multicultural Affairs Office. He has requested that we run an interest poll to see where key interest lies within the School of Public Health as part of our collective mission.
Here is a link to our SurveyMonkey. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BYLRY2V). Thank you!"
