Fellows at the Forefront
Fellows at the Forefront is an innovative summer program where students, scholars, practitioners, and activists work together on some of the most pressing issues of our time. This year’s cohort will focus on climate change and the environment.
Selected students will spend 10 weeks working with a community partner organization related to the cohort’s theme or participate in full-time, faculty-led research. Students are required to attend a weekly summer workshop led by a professor. Participants will receive a $6,000 stipend for 10 weeks of full-time work.
This year, our Fellows at the Forefront internship opportunities are listed within the Mindich Service Fellowship portfolio. Please visit this page to view the internship and faculty led research assitant job descriptions positions. Please apply by April 16, 2023 at 11:59pm.
