<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for the next MIT undergraduate to represent MIT as the 2020-21 Presidential Fellow in the Program at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) in Washington, DC. The selection committee will choose
one MIT undergraduate student, usually a senior, to serve as a Presidential Fellow. This is a highly distinguished non-residential fellowship requires two trips to Washington D.C. during the school year and other activities as outlined in the attached document.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Usually the fellows attend two leadership conference in Washington, DC during the Fall and Spring semesters, in addition to completing a research paper that is eligible for publication and awards. Plans have not been finalized but they
are likely to forego the Fall Conference and extend the length of the Spring Conference which they hope to conduct in person. They will also host a series of webinars, featuring experts and policy makers, throughout the Fall and leading up to the Spring Conference.
They will make a formal announcement as soon as they are able to make a final decision. While attending the conferences, the Fellows participate in workshops where they present and receive constructive criticism on their research papers. The Fellows also
have the opportunity to engage with policy experts, government officials, and leaders in the legislative process.<br>
<br>
The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress pays for all Washington, DC related costs, and the Technology and Policy Program will reimburse travel expenses to and from Washington, D.C. <o:p></o:p></p>
