Mentoring and Networking Opportunities
Senior Fellows Program

The Senior Fellows Program is the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs’ premier mentorship and networking program. Established in 1997, the Senior Fellows Program connects current graduate students in the Public Policy, Social Welfare, and Urban Planning masters programs to prominent community, government, and business leaders in the public service arena. These influential executive-level professionals provide graduate students with: industry-specific guidance on preparing for a career in public service, an expanded professional network, access to professional spaces they may not have otherwise had access to, and opportunities to apply, synthesize, and critique the theory they learn in the classroom to the real-world.
Opportunity Examples
Each fellow-mentee relationship is different, as each mentee’s needs differ. However, some sample activities of past mentorship relationships included:
- Discussing the Fellow’s career path/ informational interview
- Shadowing the Fellow at work/committee meeting(s) or conference(s)
- Seeking career development advice on resume, cover letter, job searching, elevator pitch, interviewing, and/or negotiating
- Discussing leadership, management, and/or influence approach
- Discussing identity/community specific issues (e.g. being a woman of color in a leadership role at the organization, discussing starting an LGBTQ employee resource group, etc.)
- Discussing their professional response to current events and how that may differ from their personal response
- Meeting additional individuals in your Senior Fellow’s network
Timeline
- Early Fall (September-October): Application period open
- Mid-October: Mentors/Mentees are matched an kick-off event takes place
- October-June: Mentors and Mentees meet either monthly or every other month
*The application for the 2024-2025 academic year closes October 6, 2024 at 11:45pm. Current students must apply via CareerHub.*
