The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance is now accepting applications for the Policy Fellows leadership development program. Now in its 18th year, the Policy Fellows program offers practical training in public affairs leadership for emerging leaders from government, private, and nonprofit sectors from around the state. The program equips participants with the skills to inspire, organize, and work effectively with others to advance the public good.

Beginning in September and concluding in June, fellows meet monthly to explore fundamental aspects of leadership through presentations by local and nationally recognized experts. Fellows' sessions combine seminars and hands-on skill-building practice. Past fellows have met with Vice President Walter Mondale; Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts; and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. The full program description and application materials are available online at www.hhh.umn.edu/centers/cspg. Complete applications must be postmarked by June 16, 2008.
