During your application, you'll have the opportunity to select roles within the team that aligns best with your interests, including Communications, Government and Legislative Affairs, Chief of Staff, Finance, Executive Affairs, and the Representatives to the Board of Regents. The program is designed so that junior staff can one day move up within the organization if they desire, and take on staff roles.
