Strong Partnerships

Over the past decade, the Schaeffer Fellows program has built strategic partnerships that enrich the internship experience, expand professional development offerings, and foster alumni engagement. Guided by a dedicated Advisory Board, the program has focused on strengthening relationships and setting strategic goals for future growth.

Since 2015, the program has grown to support 50 Schaeffer Fellows annually from 5 University Partners.

Relationships with public interest organizations have broadened professional development resources, helping Fellows and alumni explore different career pathways and develop transferable skills.
