“The Tisdale Fellowship has helped me to complete my personal and professional goals. This high-tech public policy opportunity is unique. You share the experience with a small group of people and participate in weekly seminar lunches. As an intern with Mehlman Vogel Castagnetti, Technology CEO Council, we did a lot of smart thinking on hot policy issues that impact our nation’s future. It is exciting to be a part of and witness policy development in Washington, D.C. Moreover, I’ve been able to make the most of the experience by meeting experts, attending meetings and better understanding D.C. day-to-day.”
Lauren Smith ’09, Ewha W. University
Technology CEO Council Intern
"The Tisdale Fellowship is a great way to learn about current policy issues affecting technology corporations. Through both my internship and the seminar lunches I was able to meet many people working on the technology policies, hear what issues are most important to them, and also learn about the career paths they took to reach their current positions. The sponsors of the fellowship also encouraged the Fellows to attend hearings and events on Capitol Hill of personal interest that provided valuable insight into the workings of Washington, D.C.”
Susan Fredholm ’07, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Technology CEO Council Intern “The Tisdale Fellowship gave us a front row seat for the most pressing technology issues of our time. I got a chance to see firsthand how policy advocates interact with technology companies, government officials and each other. I had the opportunity to meet some of the leaders in technology government relations. Washington, D.C. is the absolute perfect setting to learn about public policy because this is simply where all the action is.”
Srinivas Gopalan ’07, University of Virginia
Technet Intern “This Fellowship has allowed me to forge professional and personal relationships that are likely to last for a long time. I have learned through my experiences and feel that I have grown because of them. If you want to be able to have a meaningful experience, then you’ll apply for this Fellowship. I was able to be a meaningful part of a legislative affairs team. I was a part of a dynamic office that quickly enfolded me into their routine; I was a part of the team. I was able to go to Congressional hearings as well as discuss our position with Congressional staff. I posted policy blogs to display our position on our webpage and I summarized upcoming bills to be reviewed. I was even able to compose part of a report that will be presented to Congress when they reconvene.”
