Capital Fellows Program Information Session
Attention Seniors and Graduate Students-
Voted three years in a row (2010, 2011 & 2012) as one of the Top 10 internships nationwide by Vault.com, the Capital Fellows Programs are ranked highly for their combination of meaningful work experience and career opportunities. Each year, Vault’s editors evaluate the internship programs profiled in their annual guide and select from those the top 10 internship programs they feel represent the best all-around opportunities.
The Capital Fellows Programs offer a unique opportunity to participate in policymaking and development. Fellows work for 10-11 months as full-time, paid staff members in the California State Assembly, California State Senate, California Executive Branch or the California Judiciary. Fellows actively engage in public service and prepare for future careers, while gaining firsthand experience in the governance and leadership of the most diverse, complex state in the nation.
Come talk with our current fellows (and former CSULB alum!) for a unique chance to answer any questions regarding the Capital Fellows Programs, including application processes, placement descriptions, and career prospects.

The Washington Mentoring Program
The Washington Mentoring Program, beginning in academic year 2013-14, is designed for students interested in serving on a career basis in a governmental agency or non-governmental organization in the Washington D.C. area. The purpose of the program is to help prepare qualified current students for positions and careers in national public policy by fostering dialogue with persons who have successfully selected such a career.
A number of CSULB Political Science Alumni have graciously expressed a willingness to help orient current students about the opportunities and limitations of public policy service. Each current student selected to participate in the Program will be put in contact with one of these Alumni.
Participation in the Program is limited. Preference will be given to upper-division Political Science majors and to those who have taken at least one public policy course offered by the CSULB Political Science Department. A GPA of 3.00 is required.
