Project 55 Fellows Embark on an Exciting Year
By Stephanie Mirkin
PP55 Program Manager
The summer of 2008 was an exciting time for the 68 new Princeton Project 55 Fellows to begin their fellowship placements. For many of the fellows, this was their first time entering the “real world” of a 9-5 job and paying rent. For others, this is the foundation for a career in the nonprofit sector and public service. For all fellows, we hope this will be the beginning of a lifelong commitment to the public interest, civic leadership, and the Project 55 community.
As Project 55 begins a new program year of supporting our fellows, partner organizations, and area committees, we would like to welcome our newest class of fellows and wish them a successful year.
Fellows discuss the field of community development with PP55 Board Member Elliott Lee '74 at the 2008 Fellowship Orientation in Princeton.
