Urban Public Policy Fellowship at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)

Overview

The Urban Public Policy Fellowship (UPPF) program is a leadership development program designed to expose historically underrepresented minority undergraduate students at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) to key public policy issues.

The goal of the program is to pair fellows with partner organizations who can provide students with insight into the inner-workings of government, community based initiatives, non-for profits, and public policy. Fellows identify, research, and develop a public policy project guided by a research question that enhances their internship experience with partner organizations and are given the opportunity to present their public policy projects at an annual research conference.

We encourage you to attend an Informational Session held on Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. in Room 613, Student Center East (SCE) or on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. in the Cardinal Room, SCE to learn more about the UPPF program and the application process. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided.
