Two Indiana State University alumnae are among the 53 high-achieving individuals celebrated for completion of the Orr Fellowship, a prestigious early career development program dedicated to cultivating the next generation of business and community leaders in Indiana.
Kaitlyn Atkinson, of Sullivan, Indiana, and Natalie Mauk, of Terre Haute, Indiana, both graduated in 2023 from Indiana State’s Scott College of Business with Marketing degrees. Shortly after graduation, they joined the 2023 cohort of the Orr Fellowship.
Atkinson and Mauk completed the rigorous two-year Fellowship, during which they contributed their talents to high-growth partner companies across the state. They now join an influential network of more than 650 Orr alumni who continue to make an impact across Indiana’s economy.
“Every graduating class of Fellows makes its mark on the Fellowship, our partner companies and the greater community,” said Steven Emch, President of Orr Fellowship. “As we found in our recent economic impact study, more than half of all Orr alumni remain in Indiana after completing the program, which means their experience and growth over the past two years will continue to pay dividends here at home.”
Orr Fellowship provides a platform for recent college graduates to begin their professional journeys with purpose and support, including placement in roles at innovative companies and access to personal and professional development resources.
