| Humphrey School Policy Fellows program announces 2007-08 class Forty individuals from throughout Minnesota have been chosen to participate
in the Humphrey School Policy Fellows program. Through a nine-month educational experience
that includes seminars and leadership development activities, the Policy Fellows
gain practical training in public affairs leadership while examining national
and international issues confronting the United States.
The Policy Fellows program is characterized by a distinguished tradition of
training the best and brightest emerging leaders in Minnesota. Begun by Vice
President Walter Mondale in 1990 and co-directed for a dozen years by former
congressmen Tim Penny and Vin Weber, the program now is directed by nationally
prominent political science Professor Lawrence
Jacobs.
“We are thrilled to admit an outstanding new class of policy fellows who
stand out for their accomplishments and future promise. The program for the
coming year will equip the fellows with the leadership skills to advance Minnesota's
common good,” said Jacobs. “The new fellows represent the diversity
of Minnesota's thinking and changing demographics, and they join a distinguished
group of more than 400 prominent Minnesotans who are alumni of the fellows program
and hold key leadership positions in government, business, and the nonprofit
sector.”
