UPPF Program Application by Sep. 23, 2011

Dear Student:

Have an interest in public policy? Do you have a desire to become a better
leader? Looking for an opportunity to combine both?

The *Urban Public Policy Fellowship (UPPF)* program is a leadership
development program designed to expose historically underrepresented
minority *undergraduate* students at the University of Illinois at Chicago
(UIC) to key public policy issues. The program provides Fellows with weekly
seminars offering a solid introduction to theory and practice in the areas
of public policymaking, advocacy, community development, and service
provision and also a valuable internship experience.

Students from all academic areas are eligible including those with an
interest in fields such as education, urban planning, political science,
sociology, urban health, communication, and law. Sophomore standing (minimum
30 hours) is necessary to participate in this non-degree, non-credit
program.

Deadline to apply for the UPPF program is: *Friday, September 23, 2011*
