Fried Public Policy and Service Program

The Fried Public Policy and Service Program (“Fried”) is the opt-in cohort program of the Careers in Policy, Government, & Nonprofits. All undergraduate students can participate at their own level of involvement.

The goal of the program is to provide a wide range of career development opportunities and resources for policy-focused undergraduate students, while also building a cohort of like-minded students interested in government and the public sector.

How to Get Involved

To get involved in the Fried Public Policy and Service Program, please sign-up for our Careers in Policy, Government, & Nonprofits newsletter. We’ll send a Fried-specific newsletter each Monday that includes:

  • Upcoming events and cohort events.

  • Employer engagement opportunities and information sessions.

  • Career development resources specific to public policy.

We also encourage you to consider academic-year and summer Jeff Metcalf internships to gain experience in the public interest sector.
