RGK Center Summer Fellowship Program
Join graduate students from around the country to critically examine issues in the nonprofit sector and to work on your own research in nonprofit management, volunteerism, international civil society, social entrepreneurship and philanthropic studies.
Under the direction of Dr. Peter Frumkin, students participate in an intensive four week seminar that culminates in the completion of papers for the RGK Center's working papers series. Students are expected to submit a draft research paper that they would like to refine and prepare for academic publication during the summer program.
