Get Covered America Fall Fellowship

Want to put some purpose in your semester? Get Covered America is looking for college students to apply for their fall fellows program!
I, UHPer Jess Burnell, first heard about this fellowship from the UHP blog last May, and have been working as a fellow this summer for this amazing organization in their policy department (and will continue working there into the fall!). They have fellowships available in all areas of their organization: data/analytics, field, constituent outreach, digital, policy, you name it. I’ve learned so much about what it takes to implement a campaign like this, made connections with some incredible people, and have had a great time doing it. I strongly urge my fellow (no pun intended) UHPers to apply for this awesome opportunity!
