2011-2012 Urban Public Policy Fellowship Program
In partnership with:
The Urban Public Policy Fellowship (UPPF) program, a new program designed to expose historically underrepresented
minority undergraduate students at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) to
key public policy issues.
UPPF Fellows were selected through a highly competitive process that
considered grade point average, history of engagement, and leadership
experience.
UPPF Fellows attended weekly seminars throughout the spring semester.
Seminars included policy issues, project management, research, government
issues and education budget information.
UPPF Fellows presented Public Policy Posters at the DFI/IALHEA Conference &
Diversity Research Forum, April 12, 2012.
UPPF Fellows were also assigned an internship designed to expose him or her
to the theory and practice of public policy-making, advocacy, community development, and service provision.
The UPPF program is administered through the Institute for Policy and Civic
Engagement (IPCE), in partnership with the Latin American Recruitment and
Educational Services Program (LARES) and the African-American Academic
Network (AAAN).
