White House Fellows Program
When: Friday, October 9, 2020
Time: 9:00 AM- 10:00 AM
Where: Other
Work Authorization Requirement: US Citizens
White House Fellowships are awarded annually to a select group of promising leaders. Fellows - usually from 12 to 15 in number - spend a year in Washington working in a paid, consequential position in the White House or in the office of a senior leader in a federal department or agency. The program is non-partisan, and applications are accepted from American citizens who are not currently employed in the federal government (with the exception of those in military service). Columbia Business School Executive in Residence and Adjunct Professor Steve Harty will host this presentation and discussion. As a White House Fellow, he served as Special Assistant to the Director of the FBI while on leave of absence from a career in advertising. He will be joined by Khalid Azim, a former White House Fellow himself and current Senior Director of Lifelong Learning at Columbia Business School.
In addition to their work assignments, Fellows participate in a robust education program featuring closed door meetings with members of Congress, the Administration and the diplomatic corps as well as visiting CEOs, senior military officials and influential members of the media. A typical Fellowship year also includes three domestic policy trips and an overseas trip to investigate policy issues and political dynamics.
Among the fields represented in recent Fellows classes are business, law, education, journalism, medicine, public health and public policy. White House Fellowships are an incredible opportunity to contribute to the work of the federal government at an unusually high level and also broaden and deepen your appreciation of the interaction between Washington and your chosen professional field.
