CALLING ALL 2015 FELLOWS!

The Advocacy Group Committee is responsible for planning, implementing, and supporting the Advocacy Group Program, a mutual support system where participating Fellows Alumni are divided into small groups and actively promote each other's careers. Through the Advocacy Group Program, Fellows Alumni assist each other in reaching their respective career goals through concrete steps, including providing feedback to each other on career strategy, sharing learning resources, and introducing each other to people who can be critical to career transitions or progressions.
