The First-Year Fellows arrive in Washington, DC

  • First-Year Fellows attend four on-campus Civic Skills Training sessions in the spring term.

  • Civic Skills Trianing topics include collaboration, public speaking, networking, advocacy writing, project management, and professionalism.

  • First-Year Fellows spend one day of Civic Skills Training on Capitol Hill, which includes a visit with Senator Rob Portman '78.

The Class of 2019 First-Year Fellows arrived in Washington, DC this week to begin the summer internship portion of the program. During their first week in the nation's capitol, they continue Civic Skills Training (CST), which is designed to provide the First-Year Fellows with the skills necessary to excel in their placement internships and beyond. 

The CST curriculum covers everything from team work, collaboration, public speaking, networking, advocacy writing, project management, and professionalism. The sessions build cumulatively in order to provide a comprehensive and coherent picture of the public and nonprofit sectors, as well as individual management and leadership development.
