summer internship available to undergraduate and graduate students.  Any 
student, undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity and 
ethics issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, can 
apply for this Fellowship.  The Fellowship has two main elements:

(1) *Internship*:  Fellows do an eight-week internship in the government 
relations office of a leading high technology company or association.  
In the recent past, fellows have interned at such companies as Agilent 
Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics and Infotech 
Strategies as well as associations such as the Business Software Alliance. 

2)  *Issues Seminar*:  The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by 
the different sponsoring companies and associations.  Expert speakers 
lead discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and the 
methods the high technology industry uses for effective advocacy.  A new 
lecture on diversity and ethics has been added to the Tisdale Fellows' 
speaker series. 

The Summer 2008 Fellowship runs from *June 16^th -- August 8^th , 2008*. 
The goal of the Fellowship is to create a supportive and collegial 
environment in which a new class of public policy professionals will be 
mentored to help ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have 
highly capable and well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and 
senior management positions.
