Brody Perrine named Orr Fellow

Roachdale native Brody Perrine has been selected for membership to the Orr Fellowship.

The two-year program seeks to develop Indiana’s next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs.

Perrine looks at Orr Fellowship as an extension of his education.

“For me, it was a no-brainer. The Orr Fellowship offers great exposure to entrepreneurship and both professional and personal development,” Perrine said. “Additionally, I wanted to be challenged. I believe that will be another great part of the Orr Fellowship.”

He earned a degree from Franklin College in psychology and will work at PAN, the leading provider of talent measurement solutions to help organizations of all sizes hire, develop, and retain the right talent.

Named for the late Indiana Gov. Robert D. Orr, the fellowship pairs high-achieving college graduates with some of Indiana’s most dynamic, high-growth companies for two-year tenures of executive-level mentorship, networking, job skill development and professional growth.

Since its inception in 2001, Orr Fellowship has placed more than 280 Fellows with some of Indiana’s most flourishing companies, most in the tech industry.

This year has been the most competitive recruitment season in the program’s history. Perrine was selected as one of 39 Orr Fellows from more than 1,000 applicants, with more than 25 different majors, 20 schools and eight states represented by the class of 2017.

Candidates are selected based on superior academic performance, extracurricular involvement, demonstrated leadership potential and previous job experiences.
