Invest in Students' Futures:
Transitions Fellowship Program

The CC Post-Graduate Summer Transitions Fellowship Program encourages students to expand their experiences and networks during the summer following their graduation in ways that could lead to career paths in the private sector or in public service. Our goal is to support selected graduates, from as wide an array of majors and departments as possible, while they deepen and enrich the skills and experiences that are necessary for more successful transitions after graduation.
