Participants will have opportunities to connect, socialize and network, with the additional goal of building lasting relationships within each session. Each cohort will span 8-12 weeks, running from June 2025 to August 2026. The Program Manager is a part-time role that will focus on the day-to-day operations of the fellowship, including recruiting for fellows, coordinating the sessions (6 per session for a total of 12), and managing communication with fellows, faculty and external stakeholders.

Work Interactions The Project Manager will oversee all aspects of the fellowship, including recruitment of congressional staff, space management, curriculum design, materials, scheduling, communication, and project metrics. Reporting directly to Michelle De Mooy, TPP Director and principal investigator of the grant and fellowship, the Project Manager will collaborate closely with Emily Tavoulareas, Adjunct Professor, and Sebastian Jilk, Associate Professor, to support curriculum development. This includes assisting with the selection of relevant courses, materials, and speakers for various topics.
