Since its establishment in 1975, 1,186 fellows have participated in the Michigan program. They come from all walks of life and from a wide range of organizations, including schools, colleges, universities, government agencies, private businesses, associations, and non-profit groups. There is no particular box that the fellows fit into; they range in age from 25 to 55, come from a variety of backgrounds, and have a broad set of experiences.
It is this variety that makes participating in EPFP a unique experience. The Michigan EPFP population is much more diverse than the total Michigan population, and there have been more women fellows (61 percent) in this state than men fellows (39 percent). This rich mix of participants is evidence of the program’s long-standing commitment to ensuring diversity and pushing equity along with the collaborative nature of the program.

Michigan Policy Seminar Speakers
Since 1995, the Michigan EPFP has scheduled an annual “Day at the Capitol” for the Michigan Fellows. Fellows have the opportunity to meet with key elected officials and policy advisors from Michigan State government. This seminar serves as an important part of the Fellow’s preparation for the Washington Policy Seminar, held annually in the Spring.
The Michigan EPFP is indebted to each of these individuals for sharing their expertise and helping program participants better understand the public policy process in Michigan.

MSU President’s Education Forum Speakers
The following table includes the names of MSU College of Education faculty members and other national and international experts who have served as invited speakers at the MSU President’s Education Forums since January 2006. The MSU President’s Education Forums were established in 1998 and are an outreach strategy to inform policy makers and education leaders about current education policy issues and to open discussion around research and best practice in specific education policy areas. These annual forums are sponsored by Michigan State University Office of the President and by the College of Education through the Office of K-12 Outreach. These forums, which are by invitation only, are well attended by state legislators and their staff members, State Board of Education members, Michigan Department of Education staff, leaders of local and intermediate school districts and association representatives. Each year the forums provide an opportunity for continuing conversations around critical national and state policy issues. Presentations are made by key MSU College of Education faculty and national authorities who address critical policy issues. The Michigan EPFP’s affiliation with the Education Policy Center at MSU and the Office of K-12 Outreach enables the EPFP Fellows to participate in these forums. While attendance is encouraged, these forums are an optional policy experience for the Michigan EPFP Fellows. A luncheon is provided.

Michigan Virtual University Leadership & Policy Seminar (1999)
Seminar Web Pages
Offered in cooperation with the Michigan Education Policy Fellowship Program and the Detroit Regional Chamber
In early 1999, the Michigan Virtual University (MVU) announced a seven-week, leadership and policy seminar designed to expand analytical and communication skills while introducing business and community leaders to the advantages of on-line learning technologies.
With the rapid growth of the Internet and expanded access to on-line services, the use of telecommunications technology has emerged as a skill required of leaders. The Internet has also opened new opportunities to develop communities of learners and enhance policy discourse.
Purpose
The MVU Leadership and Policy Seminar was designed to engage participants in a highly interactive professional development experience. This experience occurred between April 13 – June 6, 1999, and was cosponsored by the Detroit Regional Chamber and the Michigan Education Policy Fellowship Program. Participants examined two key policy issues of importance to Southeast Michigan and took part in a capstone presentation at the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Leadership Policy Conference held on Mackinac Island June 3 – 6, 1999.
Eligibility
The Seminar was limited to 14 participants selected from a group of Michigan Education Policy Fellowship Program alumni — professionals in policy-level positions at colleges and universities, local and state government agencies, school districts, non-profit organizations and corporations:
The participants:
- Attended an orientation program.
- Explored a specific set of policy topics.
- Actively participated in a series of policy discussions.
- Worked on a virtual team.
- Evaluated a set of technology tools and applications.
- Engaged in policy conversations with key legislative, business and government leaders.
- Attended the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Leadership Policy Conference from June 3 – 6, 1999, on Mackinac Island.
- Evaluated the seminar experience.
- Earned a certificate upon completion from the Michigan Virtual University.
Technology Expectations
The Leadership and Policy Seminar used a variety of technology tools, where appropriate, for instruction, management and communication. Participants were required to have:
- an interest in experiencing new technology tools and applications,
- an Internet e-mail account,
- access to the Internet on a daily basis, and
- Web navigation skills.
Cost
The Michigan Virtual University underwrote all tuition costs associated with the April – June seminar, including registration, travel and lodging expenses for the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Leadership Policy Conference on Mackinac Island.
Application Process
Applications were submitted electronically during March, 1999. Participants were selected by the seminar faculty in consultation with MVU officials.
