Opportunities

After admission into CPS, a "program group" is assembled for each Fellow. This group includes an on-campus advisory Fellow—a faculty member from the Fellow’s academic department—and an off-campus advisory Fellow—a public service professional who is currently involved in an area that interests the student.

An advisor can play a key role in opening doors to internships, conferences, seminars, and other off-campus learning experiences that significantly contribute to the Fellow’s career preparation. Formal meetings are scheduled at least once a semester for each Fellow’s program group.

CPS sponsors monthly luncheons with a variety of featured speakers, including community leaders, off-campus advisory Fellows, service organization representatives, and faculty members. These speakers address a broad range of public service issues, emphasizing the needs and opportunities that exist.
