Thank you for your interest in serving on an Institute of Politics and Public Service Student Strategy Team! Student Strategy Team (SST) members are critical to the Institute’s flagship Fellows Program. As a member of a Strategy Team, you will be a part of a select group of students assigned to one of our Fellows – some of the top names in politics, government, and media – for the semester. Fellows will serve as a mentor to you and your team; it’s an incredible opportunity to work one-on-one with some of the most respected practitioners in politics and public service.

The Student Strategy Team time commitment is approximately 6-8 hours a week and the responsibilities include:

- Assisting your Fellow with preparations for their weekly discussion groups (e.g. conducting research, compiling background materials, talking through ideas)
- Publicizing and promoting the weekly discussion groups and Fellow's' office hours in creative ways to the campus community, coordinating all communications through GU Politics Staff
- Attending each and every one of your Fellows weekly discussion groups and ensuring strong attendance
- Joining weekly meetings (to be determined based on team's schedule) with your Fellow and the rest of your team to prepare for discussion groups
- Running all aspects of the discussion groups (e.g. arriving early for set-up, checking in guests, keeping
time, setting up A/V equipment)
- Collaborating with other student groups to organize events and activities for your Fellow
- Participating fully in end of term activities that include a  Fellows' farewell on Friday, April 20th

Each SST will also have a Team Leader. Team Leaders must have previously served on an SST, and responsibilities include:

- Coordinating SST activities and operations between team members
- Attending weekly Team Leader meetings with GU Politics staff
- Leading weekly meetings for your SST without your Fellow
