Public Relations Fellow - Role Description

This fellowship, which is intended for those who plan to stay in the metro Phoenix area following completion of their degree, is highly selective and will provide graduate students unique opportunities to work on strategic projects for Arizona’s premier foreign affairs organization. Students accepted to the program benefit from access to PCFR’s entire annual calendar of events, each of which features a leader in global politics, research, law, or business.

The one year fellowship (with the option to reapply the following year) also offers participants an entry point to interact with, and receive mentorship from PCFR’s membership, which includes a significant number of retired ambassadors, diplomats, and others with broad international experience.
