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)

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.
