Fellowship Program

The Buzz on the Fellows Program

“The PSI Fellowship Program is a wonderful opportunity to work on projects for high-level clients. It gave me a better understanding of all types of industries. The work was appropriately demanding and co-workers had high expectations for the fellows. I would recommend this fellowship to anyone interested in consulting, public relations, media or government affairs.”

— Izumi Devalier, Fellow, Washington, DC, Spring 2010

“Everyone in the office was so inviting, helpful and full of advice. I learned more in the short time I was at Public Strategies than I ever learned during school because of the hands-on environment and involvement with the client team on tangible projects. I am really happy I received this opportunity, which undoubtedly is going to help me as I move forward in my education and career.”

— Ryan Foster, Fellow, Washington, DC, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010
