YALE QUE A GLOBO NEWS NÃO VIU

Yale School of Forestry

Acabei de assistir ao programa Mundo S/A da Globo News que foi feito sobre a Universidade de Yale com destaque para a Escola de Management (SOM). É uma das mais inovadoras escolas de administração e negócios em uma das mais tradicionais e ricas universidades americanas. Ali os estudantes aprendem não só a fazer e administrar dinheiro, mas também - e muito - sobre a responsabilidade corporativa das empresas, algo ainda novo no Brasil mas que vem crescendo com uma rapidez impressionante, tanto em países pobres quanto ricos. Trata-se do mesmo objetivo de sempre - ganhar dinheiro - mas as regras são mais coerentes com um mundo onde as desigualdades acabam prejudicando, ao final, os próprios negócios.

Mas o que é interessante nessa história de Yale é que ali foi criada, em 1900, a primeira escola de pós-gradução em Florestas dos Estados Unidos - que funcionou neste prédio da foto - Marsh Hall, lugar onde tive o prazer de ter o meu escritório quando fui McCluskey Fellow - professora visitante, em 2004. A escola que Gifford Pinchot and Henry S. Graves criaram cresceu e, desde 1972, ampliou a área de ensino para incorporar também estudos ambientais. É a famosa School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.

O atual reitor, Gus Speth, foi co-fundador de duas ONGs ambientais fortes daqui dos EUA: o NRDC - Natural Resources Defense Council e o WRI - World Resources Institute. Ele foi assessor do presidente Jimmy Carter em assuntos de meio ambiente e foi o Diretor do PNUD por seis antes. Seu último livro chama-se Global Environmental Governance.

Alunos brasileiros

O primeiro aspecto que eu queria salientar que o repórter da Globo News não viu é que a Escola de Florestas e Meio Ambiente de Yale tem tradição em receber alunos brasileiros e/ou alunos que estudam o Brasil. A mais recente doutora é Marina Campos que escreveu uma tese sobre o movimento social da Transamazônica. Ela foi a primeira mulher brasileira a concluir o doutorado na Escola de Florestas. Antes dela foi Christiane Heringhaus, que não é brasileira mas se criou no Brasil, fez sua tese sobre o movimento dos seringueiros. Meu irmão, Fernando Allegretti, Gerente de Relacionamento com Comunidades da Natura, fez seu mestrado na mesma escola.

Amazônia em Yale

Enfim, a novidade principal, que aproveito para divulgar já que a Globo News não viu, é que a School of Forestry e a Scholl of Managemente têm um MBA em conjunto que está oferecendo bolsa completa aos estudantes que moram ou estudam na Amazônia brasileira e andina. A bolsa vem de uma doação da Fundação Gordon e Betty Moore e Yale está procurando alunos que queiram estudar ali, uma das melhores universidades do mundo, com tudo pago! São três anos de MBA, o candidado tem que ser aceito, é claro, para então se candidatar a receber essa bolsa.

Informações adicionais e requisitos

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation seeks to strengthen the managerial capacities of environmental and conservation organizations around the world, but especially those that operate in the Andes-Amazon region. Because this area of the world holds particular interest for the Moore Foundation, Yale University and the Foundation have entered into a partnership to provide world-class professional development to a select group of managers who will, upon graduation, seek employment with organizations in the region—especially those receiving support from the Moore Foundation. After graduation, grantees will agree to work for at least three years in environmental or conservation organizations in the region.

Yale’s professional Schools of Management (SOM) and Forestry & Environmental Studies (FES) have proven track records when it comes to producing today’s conservation and environmental leaders. Under an innovative, three-year joint degree program that combines training for an MBA and an Environmental Master’s degree, Yale has for more than 20 years prepared students with a top-notch education that combines a solid grounding in environmental sciences and con-servation with cutting-edge management skills. The record is clear and reflected in the successful careers and leadership of previous graduates of the program.

The Moore Fellows Program seeks well qualified candidates to undertake the three-year, joint degree program. Successful applicants will receive full tuition and living expenses for each of the three years of the program. In addition, funding is provided for at least one summer internship to be carried out with a Moore Foundation grantee organization in the Andes-Amazon region.

While the fellowship is not limited to citizens and permanent residents of a country in the Andes-Amazon region, these applicants are preferred.For more information on selection criteria for each school, please visit their websites: Yale School of Management Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies

There is no separate application for the Moore Fellowships. Applicants must apply to each school separately in accordance to their deadlines and requirements. Indicate your interest in the Moore Fellowship on each application.To apply to the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, either proceed with an on line application or mail and request application materials at the following address: Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Admissions, 205 Prospect Street, New Haven, CT 06511 USA.

The School of Management has three admissions deadlines and only accepts online applications. Please go to the SOM adminissions website to view the deadlines and online application. Questions related to the School of Management may be directed to the Admissions Office.The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies will accept Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) test score results in place of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) which means that applicants do not need to take both tests. Send GMAT test scores to both schools directly (SOM Code #3986, FES Code #3996).

The School of Management does not accept the GRE in lieu of the GMAT, however.Because the two application processes are separate, applicants must submit transcripts and recommendations to both schools. Applicants may either request separate recommenders for each school or ask each recommender to send two versions of the recommendation -- one to SOM and one to FES. We want to learn about an applicant's suitability for each school and program. SOM requires two letters, while FES requires three letters.
