Who We Are:
The Bob Graham Center Student Fellows began in 2015 as a student group affiliated with the Bob Graham Center for Public Service. Devoted to fulfilling the Graham Center’s goal of training the next generation of public and private sector leaders for Florida, the Student Fellows recruited passionate, civic-minded members who represented the values of civic service, community engagement, and student leadership. In doing so, the Fellows worked closely with the Graham Center to implement student programs and initiatives, while also assisting the Center with its existing programs and events.
Today the Bob Graham Center Student Fellows serve as the official ambassadors of the Graham Center. Dedicated to improving the civic health of the University of Florida campus and the broader Gainesville community, this group of committed students utilize a committee system whereby members’ interests are at the forefront to address pressing issues in the community.
The Student Fellows enjoy opportunities for leadership experience and professional development through the Center’s public programs, experiential learning opportunities, and small group discussions with policymakers and innovative public leaders.
