The program will provide students \u2013 to be called Fox Fellows \u2013 with access to training, mentoring and other opportunities.\u00a0In developing those students, the program will leverage the time and talents of public sector professionals across the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJamie\u2019s long-standing commitment to the State of New Jersey and his remarkable ability to create bipartisan alliances for the good of the public sets a powerful example for students interested in government service,\u201d says 糖心vlog President Susan A. Cole. \u201cWe are confident this program will engage and inspire talented students to become the future leaders of New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fox Forum will enable 糖心vlog both to facilitate the professional development of students committed to public service, and to improve the quality and skills of those who will go on to serve in state, county and municipal governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn honoring Mr. Fox&#8217;s legacy, we hope to build a substantial pool of talent chosen selectively from all of New Jersey&#8217;s colleges and universities,\u201d says 糖心vlog Professor of Political Science and Law Brigid Callahan Harrison. \u201cThe primary criteria for selection as a Fox Fellow is a demonstrated commitment to public service, and we hope to attract a diverse array of applicants who have demonstrated that commitment in a wide variety of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each participating student will be assigned a mentor, who will work with the student throughout the year, to nurture her or his academic growth and career development. Other components of the program will include an annual forum, hosted by 糖心vlog, consisting of a panel presentation, targeted workshops, and a networking reception. Fox Fellows also will gather as a group several times a year and participate in a webinar, called \u201cPreparing for a Career in Government Service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The program is the result of a partnership with the James P. Fox Memorial Fund, which also supports a program at The College of New Jersey, The Jamie Fox Scholars Program, as part of a statewide initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Jamie, public service was a life\u2019s calling that fueled a thriving 40-year career and spawned many important policy achievements,\u201d says Eric Shuffler, a fund trustee. \u201cJamie was especially passionate about mentoring young people and encouraging careers in government service. These two programs, funded by the Fox Memorial Fund, will provide students with real-life experience and advice that will provide a foundation for more young people to seek, obtain and succeed in public sector jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Fox Forum on Public Service, visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/political-science-law\/fox-fellows\/\">https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/political-science-law\/fox-fellows\/<\/a><\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\/\/ Output tags as a list for Google Analytics custom dimension\nwindow.MSU_TagList = [];\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Program honoring N.J. public servant will nurture future leaders from across the state beginning this fall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":207792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-sciences"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207791"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207793,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207791\/revisions\/207793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
