2009 Student Policy Fellows Named

March 18, 2009

Wheelock has selected four undergraduate students and one graduate student as 2009 Policy Fellows. Now in its fourth year, the Student Policy Fellows is an innovative program designed for talented students who have the drive and potential to become leaders and advocates for children and families. The program exposes them to the political process by pairing each with a state legislator. Students work side-by-side with the legislators on Beacon Hill to develop the leadership, policy, and advocacy skills needed to enact positive, systemic change.
