For the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service, who should write my recommendation and how long should it be? What do you look for in a recommendation letter?

Your current direct supervisor must write your recommendation. Recommendations from professors, previous supervisors or someone in a role other than that of your direct supervisor are not accepted. We understand that you may be new to a position and we take that into consideration when reading your recommendation.

Fellows are expected to:
 
- Attend all events including a mandatory Orientation in the fall, sessions approximately twice a month and a final reception.
 
- Meet all deadlines and complete all assignments (which will require approximately two additional hours beyond the sessions each week).
