Lee Awarded UB MBA Program’s Xerox Fellowship

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Marvel H. Lee of Allston, Mass., is the 1999 recipient of the Xerox fellowship awarded by the MBA program in the UB School of Management.

The fellowship is part of the management school's Partnership for Recruiting Excellence Program, in which corporations help the school recruit top-notch students by offering a tuition scholarship, stipend, laptop computer, paid internship and a liaison with a corporate mentor.

Prior to enrolling in the MBA program at UB, Lee was manager of information systems at Spectrum Equity Investors in Boston, a private-equity firm specializing in the telecommunications industry. She earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Tufts University.

Lee is concentrating her MBA studies on finance and management information systems, and plans to pursue a career in information-technology consulting.

"Xerox is moving toward IT consulting, which really suits my career goals," says Lee. "The fellowship definitely influenced my decision to attend UB. I'm glad I came here, because I am very happy with the quality of the classes and professors, and feel I really fit in well with the students."
