Coro Southern California’s Fellowship Program in Public Affairs
Students graduating in Fall 19 or Spring 20 who are interested in Public Affairs should consider applying for the Coro Southern California’s Fellowship Program in Public Affairs. This might be a good fit especially for students who have participated in the Archer Fellowship.
It is a graduate-level fellowship that is a 9-month transformational leadership program in public affairs that provides fellows with a diverse range of practical, cross-sector experiences to become effective leaders. Each year, Coro Southern California selects 12 fellows from a national selection process to engage in one of the most unique and transformative group learning experiences. Meet the current class of fellows in my Southern California cohort here.
Fellows use the city as a classroom while participating in five high-level cross-sector placements: the public sector, the private sector (business), nonprofits/philanthropy, labor organizations, and electoral politics. Supplementary to the placements, fellows also participate in focus weeks, retreats, and bi-weekly seminars for further learning.
It is a rigorous program for future leaders in some of the nation’s largest cities, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and New York City. Candidates must demonstrate exemplary dedication to creating change through responsible and ethical governance and leadership. Ideal candidates must also be willing to assume the role of a learner and observer, while reflecting upon their own visions for society, in the various settings the program provides to build a true understanding of how these cities operate to serve a vast, complex constituency.
Fellows will have the opportunity to interface with Coro’s network through various meetings and events; this network includes some of the most influential community leaders. In addition, the expansive Coro alumni network provides resources and support to fellows as they build their careers.
The application is online. Note that deadlines are soon approaching.
The Office of Undergraduate Research invites undergraduates to submit a 2-minute research video and compete for $6,500 in the Texas Student Research Showdown.
The Texas Student Research Showdown is a research communication competition for undergraduate researchers at The University of Texas at Austin. Student researchers create videos explaining their research or creative activity to a general audience. As selected by a panel of faculty judges, the top two videos in two categories (arts, humanities, and social sciences; science, technology, and engineering) will receive $2000 and $750 awards, and an “audience choice” winner selected by UT students will receive $1000. Student awards are provided through the generous support of Kimberly and Scott Martin.
The competition is open to any UT undergraduate involved in research or creative activity in any major. Submissions reflecting group projects, research outside the STEM fields, and thesis-work-in-progress are particularly encouraged.
What are the 2020 deadlines?
Feb. 18: Video submissions close
