COLE Leadership Fellows – Awards and Recognition

Because of the work our COLE Leadership Fellows do and the leadership they exhibit, several fellows receive recognition for their leadership and service to Fuqua. The following Class of 2024 COLE Leadership Fellows were recognized for their leadership and service at the Annual Daytime MBA and AMBA Awards Ceremony.

1. Bhavna Tripathy (MBA’24) – Alan D. Schwartz Award for Mentorship. This award recognizes a 2nd Year student for their mentorship of fellow students and commitment and service to the larger community.
2. Louis Wu (MBA’24) – Asa T. Spaulding Sr. Award for Leadership. This award honors one student who has been recognized by their peers as “having gone above and beyond the call of duty to have a long-lasting impact on the community through their leadership efforts.”
