UPPF Fellows were selected through a highly competitive process that considered grade point average, history of engagement, and leadership experience.  Each Fellow has been assigned an internship service and is participating in seminars, workshops, and other activities designed to expose him or her to the theory and practice of public policy-making, advocacy, community development, and service provision.  Fellows will be required to conduct public policy research projects and make public presentations on their projects at the end of the semester.
