After determining your school to have > a large pool of qualified candidates for the program, I recently > contacted one of your career advisors with information about ESTEEM. > However, as someone who found my first job with the help of the head > of my undergraduate program, I know full well how valuable your > expertise is to students and wanted to give you a chance to learn > about the program, too, in case students come looking for advice. > > In essence, ESTEEM is a unique program that teaches entrepreneurial > skills like market evaluation, design-thinking, and traditional > business expertise to students with a STEM background. On top of > that, it allows them to practice these skills through the capstone > thesis project in which they take an idea all the way from concept to > commercialization over the course of the 11-month program. I know you > know how valuable this type of skillset is and may even have a few top > students in mind who are looking for that extra bit of expertise that > will allow them to differentiate themselves from their peers. Or > maybe you know of some clubs and organizations at your school that > might be interested in this type of program. > > If you would like to discuss the program further please contact the > Program Coordinator, Rebekah DeLine (*deline.1 at nd.edu* > <mailto:deline.1 at nd.edu>). If desired, we can also send hardcopies of > the attached digital brochure for you to provide to students who come > to your office. Otherwise, please feel free to forward this email to > any interested students and I would be happy to talk with them about > the program, my background, and any questions they may have. > > Thank you for your time, > > Nick Machesney > ESTEEM Masters Candidate > University of Notre Dame > NMachesn at ND.edu
