PLS Major Wins Logie Fellowship

Political science major Cynthia Facko has been named the winner of the John H. Logie Fellowship. During the fall 2008 semester, she will be performing an internship in Grand Rapids city government. John Logie was a longstanding mayor of Grand Rapids.

The complex arena of city government offers numerous opportunities for students, whether they seek enrichment of their educations as citizen of the world or they are pursuing experiences that will help them reach particular occupational goals. Students awarded one-semester John Logie Fellowships work in individual consultation with representatives from the City of Grand Rapids to tailor the fellowship experience to his or her specific talents and areas of interest. The first points of contact for Logie Fellows will be with the Senior Executive Staff of the City of Grand Rapids, including the City Manager, the Deputy and Assistant Managers, and their staffs, as well as with Former Mayor John H. Logie.

The fellowship is competitive and is awarded on an annual basis.
