Co-Lab: Idol Family Fellowship

Level: Undergraduate

Idol Fellows enrolled in this course will explore integral professional development topics that will prepare them to succeed in their internship this summer, and into their future early careers. Some of the concepts covered will include: identifying and leveraging strengths, goal setting, networking, informational interviews, navigating LinkedIn, honing your professional narrative, and GU resources and supports for career development. Students will have the opportunity to practice their networking skills at a dinner with alumni from the Idol Fellowship, as well as staff and faculty champions. There will also be a short session on living and working in Washington, DC, so students can deepen their connection to the city this summer, and reflect on being a young professional in an urban environment.
