Alumni Career & Peer Support Resources
This will become the future home for alumni professional development and career resources. This portal seeks to provide alumni with lifelong career development and worldwide networking opportunities at all stages of your career. While there are many other career-related resources available to STPF alumni, these starting points should provide tips and inspiration.
Become A Mentor
Currently, many alumni serve as mentors to current fellows through their placements. The program thrives because of the generational sharing of knowledge and expertise.
STPF alumni are leaders in government, academia, industry and the nonprofit sector. Many conduct and communicate their science to support public policy in national and international arenas. At the end of the fellowship, about half of each year’s fellowship class remains in the policy arena, a quarter return to their previous field, and the other quarter strike out into new territory.
