OBJECTIVES:
The Executive Fellowship Program aims to facilitate a practical
education in California state government, inspire effective and
ethical leadership, and promote an appreciation for the complexity,
value and rewards of public service. Fellows attend weekly university
graduate seminars and earn graduate units from Sacramento State’s
Department of Public Policy and Administration. Seminars provide an
academic perspective on policy and administrative issues that are
relevant to the public sector. Although some of the units are
applicable toward a graduate degree at Sacramento State, separate
application to a specific degree program is required. Other
universities accept the units on a case-by-case basis. Executive
Fellows are placed in various levels of California's executive branch
including offices of the Governor, other constitutional officers,
cabinet secretaries, commissions and departments. Placement
assignments are made based on a combination of the fellow’s interests,
skills, background and preferences along with the mutual desirability
between the fellow and mentor. The type of work assignments vary
depending on the role of the office and the skills of the fellow.
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must be at least 20 years of age by September 1, 2010.
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree by September 1, 2010.
Individuals with advanced degrees or those in mid-career are
encouraged to apply.
FUNDING
Executive Fellows receive a monthly stipend of $1,972 as well as
medical, dental and vision benefits. (kww)

About the Program
The Society for Research in Child Development seeks to encourage undergraduate students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to continue their education in child development and pursue careers in the field.

Scholars are undergraduate students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders) who are considering, but may be undecided about pursuing, graduate work in child development and related fields. Junior Mentors are committed doctoral students who are willing to serve as inspirations and role models for younger students. Senior Mentors are established professionals willing to help and support undergraduate students with their professional development.

Greetings,
I am writing to announce the Sophie Hittner Scholarship for 2008.
This scholarship was created by Dr. Amy Hittner and her brother Judge
David Hittner to honor their mother Sophie Hittner, who, as a single
parent, exemplified family commitment and community engagement. Each
year, this scholarship of $500 is awarded to an undergraduate SF
State single parent student who demonstrates a commitment to family
and is engaged with his or her community.
For the first time, the scholarship will be awarded during the fall
semester with an application deadline of Friday, October 17. I would
like to inform as many interested and qualified students as possible.
Please pass this information on to your department. Interested
students can contact me directly.
For more information, see the brochure which may be downloaded from
