Welcome 2020 Fellows!

2020 PEC Fellows participating in an online session.

Our 2020 Fellowship program is going digital this summer. Eleven college students from around the country are participating in our 14th annual PEC Fellowship Program. They will spend seven weeks immersed in everything PEC: land use planning, conservation, agriculture, transportation, historic preservation, water quality and more. We have put together a curriculum complete with guest lectures, reading assignments, individual and group activities, panel discussions and more. During the final three weeks of the program, the fellows will work with each other and PEC staff mentors to complete a practicum project and deliver a final presentation.
