The Michigan Political Leadership Program (MPLP) at Michigan State University is accepting applications for the 2017 Class. As a distinguished multi-partisan leadership training program those aspiring to run for public office are encouraged to apply.
Applications are sought from individuals who are interested in enhancing their leadership and political skills in order to better serve communities, constituencies, or causes. The program is administered and supported by MSU’s Institute for Public Policy and Social Research in the College of Social Science.
Annually, a diverse group of 24 individuals participate in a hands-on curriculum that incorporates personal leadership development, public policy process and analysis, governance, and campaigning. Practical skills training are emphasized. Fellows participate in team and coalition-building activities to foster communication and the exchange of ideas. The MPLP faculty is comprised of elected officials, political activists, MSU faculty, media, and business professionals from across Michigan.
MPLP fellows are required to attend one weekend session per month from February through November, starting with dinner at 6 p.m. Fridays and meeting through Saturdays until 4 p.m.
Considerable financial resources and time are donated to support each fellowship, valued at $12,000 and covering lodging, meals and program costs, however, accepted Fellows are asked to pay an administrative fee of $1,000. Travel and some parking expenses are the responsibility of participants.
