Paganucci Fellows Program

The Program

The Paganucci Fellows Program is a unique opportunity for Dartmouth undergraduates to take part in an intensive experiential learning program offered at Tuck.

The program supports Tuck’s efforts to study complex social issues and the ways businesses can create positive social and financial value: in effect, the “double bottom line.” It is designed for students with an interest in social entrepreneurship, an aptitude for working collaboratively as part of a consulting-like team, and an appetite for making a difference in the world.

Previously, fellows have engaged in projects such as:

• working with the Potential Energy Coalition on marketing and strategy;
• developing sustainable growth strategies within Intercorp to support Perú Champs;
• designing resources for MEDLIFE chapters and their work to address global health inequity;
• working on a digital platform and global strategy for Positive Tracks in US and South Africa;
• advising on short- and medium-term strategy for Instiglio in Colombia.

2023 Program Overview and Fellows

In 2023, Paganucci fellows successfully completed the Tuck Business Bridge Program as well as a consulting project for the Potential Energy Coalition. During Bridge, the fellows were introduced to core business disciplines such as marketing, strategy, and accounting, culminating in a final capstone presentation to industry executives and faculty. Fellows then worked with Potential Energy—a nonprofit that brings together creative and analytic media agencies to shift the narrative on climate change—on a climate communications project. Additionally, the team participated in numerous networking, leadership, and team-building sessions to further their professional and personal development.

Please feel free to contact one of the fellows from last summer to ask about the program: Victor Balbino, Sara Magdalena Gómez, Lindsay Harley, Ethan Swergold, and Kate Yeo.
