Hello Cambridge College Students,
This week the School of Undergraduate Studies is celebrating its students at our 2nd Annual "I am CC", an event that celebrates and highlights some of our incredible students' academic journeys and accomplishments. On Tuesday, April 25, 5:45-7:30 p.m. (ET), a select group of students will share their stories and insights from an "AHA!" moment, when something from a class connected with an academic, professional, or personal experience. All students and faculty are invited and encouraged to attend, as we come together to celebrate our students and find inspiration from their journeys, learning, and successes. To register and join this event, follow this link.
Fellowship Opportunity
Are you graduating soon and interested in policy research and how policy is made? If yes, the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation (MTF) is offering a 14-month fellowship as a Policy Researcher that pays well and provides real-world exposure to policy-making, professional experience as a policy researcher, and mentoring to get you started on a career in policy. A key goal of the fellowship is to introduce diverse graduates from historically underrepresented communities to the world of state policy research work.
