Dr. Shane Day Awarded Congressional Fellowship

Dr. Shane Day, Associate Professor of Public Administration, was awarded the American Political Science Association’s Congressional Fellowship for the 2024-2025 academic year. The nine-month program begins each November with an intensive one-month introduction to Congress, after which fellows work in placements of their choosing with an individual senator or congressman’s staff or a standing committee in the Senate or the House. Fellows also participate in a variety of additional professional development activities. Dr. Day is the first faculty member from an Oregon public university to participate in this program, which inaugurated its first class of fellows in 1953. Among other activities, he plans to use this opportunity to develop new contacts and to maintain existing networks for the Hatfield School’s National Policy Process course, which he will teach beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year.
