As College Republicans, many of us
are beginning to consider what to do when we graduate. The Capitol Fellows Program is an
excellent opportunity for graduating CRs. Very few Republicans applied for
this prestigious program last year. As a result, the positions went to Democrat
applicants.
The deadline for applying this
year is fast approaching (February 28th) and we would like to see
College Republicans benefit from the program this year.
"My first job in the State Capitol
was through the Assembly Fellows program, and throughout my tenure in the
legislature, I employed Fellows to help them learn the legislative and
governmental process," said former state legislator and Board of Equalization
member Bill Leonard. "Now I am encouraging other to apply to participate in the
Fellows program."
"Public service is a challenging
and rewarding experience," said State Senator Dave Cox (R-Fair Oaks). "The
Capitol Fellows Programs offer an exciting opportunity for college graduates to
gain hands-on experience in the democratic process and to work with the best and
brightest leaders in California."
The Capitol Fellows Programs
provide college graduates an opportunity to work in high levels of government.
Qualified fellows are assigned to Senators, Assembly members, judges and senior
state officials. These fellowships are jointly operated by each participating
branch of government and the Center for California Studies at Sacramento State
University.
Fellows are paid a monthly salary
of $1,972 plus health, vision, and dental benefits. In addition, each
individual earns 12 units of graduate credit from Sacramento State.
Anyone who is at least 20 years of
age and a graduate of a four-year college or university by September 1, 2007 is
eligible to apply. There is no preferred major. Individuals with advanced
degrees and those in mid-career are also encouraged to apply.
Applications and brochures are
available on the internet at www.csus.edu/calst/senate.
All applications must be
postmarked by Wednesday, February 28, 2006.
