Aquinas Alumnus Receives Congressional Fellowship
Kelly Dittmar '06, who finished her Ph.D. in Political Science at Rutgers University in October, is one of the seven winners of the Congressional Fellowship for spring 2012. The Fellowship, awarded by the American Political Science Association (APSA) is the oldest, most prestigious congressional fellowship which allows only a select few political scientists, journalists, doctors, federal executives and international scholars to gain a first-hand understanding of the legislative process. She is the first Aquinas and Rutgers student to ever receive this highly-respected fellowship.
“I was very lucky to receive the APSA Congressional Fellowship. It is a great honor and allows me to be a part of ‘practical politics’ after spending five years in the academic realm of political science,” Dittmar said. “I am so incredibly thankful for my experience at Aquinas, and I know it has shaped the last 10 years of my life in so many wonderful ways.” >Read More |
