Partnering Opportunities
Given our range of faculty and student resources, WDI’s BoP Initiative is uniquely positioned to work with a broad range of partners. This work spans the globe with recent projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Our resources include:
ACCESS TO FACULTY EXPERTISE: Our
BoP faculty and fellows are constantly applying the latest thinking with our partners. This involvement includes both
faculty engagements,
development consulting, and leading teams of students into the field.
WDI’S GLOBAL IMPACT SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAM: We connect top-notch University of Michigan graduate students with organizations needing support on BoP-related ventures. Based on a competitive process, WDI provides funding to facilitate a number of 12-week student
internships with selected partner organizations. More information is available at
www.wdi.umich.edu/Resources/StudentProjects.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACTION PROJECTS (MAP): These projects are organized in conjunction with the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Through the
MAP program, teams of 4-6 MBA students work full-time with a partner organization during March and April. Unlike traditional internships, MAP is integrated into the core curriculum for academic credit and is conducted with faculty advisors. In past years, BoP MAP teams have worked in the field in a variety of countries with global companies, local enterprises, and nonprofit organizations.
