The fourth cohort of LBJ DC Fellows move to DC to begin two semesters of evening classes and six-month Policy Apprenticeships in early June. The Policy Apprenticeships for the MPAff and MGPS DC Concentration degree are essentially full-time staff positions at leading public policy organizations in Washington DC. The Fellows really hit it out of the park with their required Policy Apprenticeships this year. Thanks to all within the LBJ world — particularly the LBJ School alumni — who assisted them along the way!
