The SECU Public Fellows Internship Program seeks to foster workplace experiences for undergraduates at ECU while helping rural communities build professional capacity to address public issues. The SECU Public Fellows Internship Program at ECU connects the university and regional communities through projects that address community-identified priorities. Undergraduate student placements provide opportunities for fellows to develop leadership, analytical, problem solving, communication and project management skills, as well as allowing them to network in professional settings.

Program participants will take part in 20 hours of leadership and professional development workshops in addition to the 330-hour PFI internship experience. Each student selected for the program receives a stipend up to $4,600.

Students will be expected to attend an orientation, several workshops, and present at a State Employees Credit Union Advisory Board meeting either in the summer or fall.
