Past Fellows have performed every type of work normally asked of permanent congressional staff, whether they are in personal offices or with committees. Activities may range from assisting in the preparation of major parts of authorization bills, writing press releases or speeches for members of Congress on a wide range of topics, answering constituent mail, preparing members of Congress for legislative debates on the floors of the House and the Senate, or meeting with lobbyists, special interest groups or agency representatives.

Fellows also write short articles or share their experiences in other formats throughout their fellowship year, for use in various AGU communication vehicles.

You can also learn directly from past fellows about their fellowship experiences through AGU videos and blog posts. Timia Crisp and Karen Akerlof discuss their fellowship terms with each other, and we interview Rebecca French and Ian Lloyd about their fellowship experiences. Recent fellows Devon Gorbey and Nathan Dadap have also shared their experiences on The Bridge blog.
