CEO Civil Rights Fellowship Begins

Rudy GerstenGovernment Activity

This week, CEO is hosting a dozen Civil Rights fellows from some of the top law schools in the country for a series of activities and training. The inaugural class is made up of a dozen young men and women, including law students from Harvard, Notre Dame, Marquette, Seton Hall, Brigham Young, Wake Forest, St. Mary’s, George Mason, and the University of Maryland

The first of its kind program, spearheaded by CEO President and General Counsel Devon Westhill, is taking place here in Washington, D.C. We kicked things off last night with a tour of CEO’s office and a welcome dinner at il Canale in Georgetown.

CEO fellows are now taking part in a series of seminars with some of the best legal and policy minds in the country, media training to prepare a new generation to speak out on our colorblind principles, and visits to some of our closest allies at the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and the New Civil Liberties Alliance.
