The Distinguished Fellows Program provides selected students with a unique leadership education and an invitation to a supportive community of fellows fostering connections that last a lifetime. Current and former fellows maintain ties to each other, to a network of fellows and alumni, and to the school long after graduation.
The program honors John E. Jeuck, AB ’37, MBA ’38, PhD ’49, an award-winning teacher and scholar of business history, especially corporate strategy.
The program launched in 2002. Each year, the current cohorts of distinguished fellows explore the question of how leaders make enduring and positive impact on their organizations and society. The program is directed by Booth faculty member Chris Collins and has benefited greatly from the guidance of past faculty directors Chad Syverson, John C. Heaton, and, most notably, Harry L. Davis.
The founder of the Distinguished Fellows Program, John E. Jeuck (1916鈥�2009), was an award-winning business history scholar, faculty from 1946鈥�1988, and the Robert Law Professor of Business.
