Jones earns Orr Fellowship

Emily Jones ‘21 has received a coveted Orr Fellowship. The two-year post-graduate experience places high-achieving college seniors from across the Midwest in full-time, paid positions at dynamic companies and organizations in Central Indiana.

Jones will participate in a rotational program at Ingram Micro, an Indianapolis-based information technology company. The fellowship will provide an extended exploration of four operational aspects of the company, plus a special curriculum that includes an executive mentorship program, acceleration of career advancement and extensive network.

A communication and business major, Jones was one of just 79 fellows selected from a pool of nearly 1,300 candidates. The competitive, three-month process included interviews and networking events with an evaluation based on grade-point average, extracurricular involvement, leadership experience and personal and professional traits such as work ethic, resilience, curiosity and enthusiasm.

While a student at Hanover, Jones was an active member of the track and field team, the cheerleading squad, the Business Scholars Program and the Lilly Scholars Network.
