2010 Legislative Fellows Program Information

I received this email recently and this mightbe of interest to senior undergraduate students.

Greetings! I am writing to solicit your support and assistance in recruiting graduate students and especially qualified senior-level undergraduates for the 2010 Legislative Fellows Program.

With over 25 years of service to the Delaware General Assembly, the Legislative Fellows Program provides students with an opportunity to observe and contribute to the political decision-making process. The program links the research capacity of the University of Delaware with the research needs of the Delaware General Assembly. Through their non-partisan, in-depth research, Fellows assist legislators in dealing with complex public policy issues facing the state. Since its inception, more than 200 individuals have participated in the program.

Fellows are selected through a competitive process and work in Dover for 20 hours per week during the entire legislative session (January 4 - June 30, 2010). Fellows are paid, and transportation to Dover in University vehicles is provided. Fellows also participate in the three-credit graduate seminar State Government Management and Policy (UAPP/POSC 687).

Students interested in politics, public policy, economics, planning, land use, geography, business, energy/environmental issues, public administration, political science, economic development, leadership studies, sociology, history, education, or family/community services may find this experience particularly relevant to their long-range professional goals.

Information sessions describing the Legislative Fellows Program will be held in 176 Graham Hall on Monday, April 6 and Wednesday, April 8 from 10:30-11:00 a.m. and 1:30-2 p.m. Interested students may RSVP to me at lisamk@udel.edu. The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, May 1, 2009.

Please visit our website at www.ipa.udel.edu/legfellows to find out more about the program and meet our 2009 Fellows and alumni. I have attached a detailed 2010 Legislative Fellows fact sheet with this message, and I would be happy to speak with you about the program.

Let me know if I can answer any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and your students!
