CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows
Meet the 2022 CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows
The 2022 class of CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows marks our 13th year of placing PhD scientists, engineers, and social scientists directly into legislative offices and committees in the California State Senate and Assembly and, more recently, into the Executive Branch in State Agencies and Offices of the Governor.
This year's class reported to Sacramento in November for a hybrid policy training program, introducing them to California's political history and policy today. To date, 144 CCST S&T Policy Fellows have now been trained to work directly with decision makers as trusted staff.
CCST S&T Policy Fellow Alums
Over 10 years, CCST S&T Policy Fellows have worked on over 1,000 bills, briefings, hearings, and bill analyses. There are now 128 alumni of the program, many of whom serve in positions in legislative offices and agencies.
The findings of a 2019 evaluation show that the fellowship has been tremendously impactful and has created a very strong reputation among fellows and mentors. Of the fellows surveyed, 88% report currently working in a position that includes both science and policy.
