Announcing the Center 
The Nonprofit and Public Management program is now the Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership. Due to high student demand and growing interest in nonprofit and public leadership, the Center is poised to offer Haas students opportunities to found, lead, manage, and govern. "The naming of the Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership highlights that Haas takes seriously the business of preparing our students with the practical business skills to found, lead, manage and govern nonprofit and public organizations for the public good.  I am so pleased about the important role the Center plays in preparing Haas MBAs for community and public leadership," says Dean Tom Campbell.

Berkeley Board Fellows Serve 50 Nonprofits

This year, the Berkeley Board Fellows program placed over 57 Haas MBAs and other graduate students on the boards of 50 nonprofit organizations spanning 11 industries such as the arts, youth, economic development and philanthropy. Students will have the rare opportunity to learn first-hand about board governance, serve on a committee, and deliver a special project. The program seeks to develop future board leaders.
