This past summer, the Eleanor H. McCullen Center for Law, Religion and Public Policy held its inaugural Summer Fellowship Program. The program was open to students who wanted to pursue an internship placement in a field that reflected and advanced the mission of the McCullen Center, specifically in the areas of constitutional law, the role of religion in civil society, and the promotion of human dignity and the common good. The program also offered research assistantships to students who wished to conduct research projects under faculty supervision on issues related to the intersection of law, religion and public policy.

McCullen Center for Law, Religion and Public Policy. 鈥淲hile students were struggling to secure meaningful summer work because of the pandemic, this fellowship program allowed students a new opportunity to participate in valuable internships and research projects.鈥�

In response to the challenges posed to summer employment due to the ongoing pandemic, the McCullen Center was able to expand the original scope of its program to offer a total of 18 fellowships. Six students secured internship placements and 12 research assistants were granted to support the work of the McCullen Center and its affiliated faculty.
