Reminder! 2020-2021 Wasserstein Fellow Nominations and Applications Deadline Upcoming
Nominations are due by April 1, 2020, and applications are due by April 10, 2020. Wasserstein Fellows are practicing public interest lawyers who have shown a demonstrated facility for mentoring. Most Fellows spend three days at Harvard Law School advising students individually, speaking to students in group settings, and assisting the OPIA staff in developing advising resources in their field of practice. One Wasserstein-Fellow-in-Residence hosted jointly between OPIA and the Human Rights Program (HRP) spends four months on the HLS campus (September through December) and splits their time between OPIA and HRP.

The health and safety of our community is our top priority. In light of Harvard’s evolving guidance regarding COVID-19, we are moving our programming and advising appointments to remote access. Learn how OPIA is adjusting its services.
OPIA/OCS Spring Mock Interview Program (SMIP) – Postponed

We strongly encourage you to apply for any fellowship that may help you reach the work you are excited about. Because many fellowships require you to pursue a project with a host organization, however, and because some fellowships have very early deadlines, it is important to begin preparing NOW for your fellowship search.
