Meet the 2024-2025 UPPF Fellows

UPPF Fellows and Mentors

15 undergraduate students will participate in the fellowship program this year

IPCE, in partnership with the African American Academic Network (AAAN) and Latin American Recruitment and Education Services (LARES), is pleased to welcome the 2024-25 cohort of undergraduate students to the Urban Public Policy Fellowship (UPPF) program.

These 15 UPPF fellows will attend seminars covering the areas of public policy-making, advocacy, community development, and service provision. They will also complete a valuable internship experience and will further enrich their education through a comprehensive research project.

The fellows will present these research projects in the spring.

The following students were accepted as fellows for the 2024-25 academic year:

Jasmin Acevedo, Margarita Arango, Nia-Blessing Armstrong, Feliciti Crowder, Sanaa Davis, Edgar Flores, Christian Gamez, Alyssa Matlock, Jeremy Rivera, Monserrat Rizo, Nuria Rodgers, Mikee Rosales, Katie Soto, Ian Talley, Jessica Vega-Patino, and Marc Zoppi.

We are also welcoming four new Graduate Mentors for the program: Marcus Daniels, Karlie Sanchez, and Alexander Diaz. Read more about their backgrounds and the experience they are bringing to the program on our staff page here.
