We are proud of all of the ways Segal Fellows exemplify citizen leadership, from your actions in your professional and personal communities, to participation in Segal Program offerings, to networking and reaching out to one another. Another way you can #segalfellowsgive to the Program is by sharing your identity as a Segal Fellow with others. Highlighting that you are a Segal Fellow helps people know your connection to our nationally-known Program and Network, and it also helps others learn about the Segal Program as they get to know you.
Ways you can be a Brand Ambassador:
- Identify yourself as a Segal Fellow on your resume and LinkedIn Page, in your email signature, and whenever you're sharing information about yourself (Don't just mention the location and role you had in your summer internship, also list yourself as a lifelong Segal Fellow)
- Wear Segal Fellow accessories (i.e. pins) and mention that you're a lifelong Segal Fellow during interviews or pictures that will be shared publicly
- Mention your Segal Fellow status while sharing your professional and community experiences or when highlighting your continued connections with other Fellows or the larger Segal Network
- Share stories of your Fellow experiences on social media using #segalfellows, #segalnetwork, or #impactoftogether

Fellows learn from and work with the Segal Network to effectively tackle society's most pressing social issues. Currently attend virtual leadership development workshops and biannual leadership retreat [and serve on new-Fellow selection committee… or include some other Fellow leadership role you play, like facilitating a training or serving as a buddy].

We ask that you please use the common language “Selective lifelong Fellowship that provides training and professional development to emerging citizen leaders.”

We suggest that you also post your summer or year-long internship (if applicable) as its own post in your “Experience” section, including in your description that you were there as a Segal Fellow.

Don’t forget to mention your Segal Fellowship in interviews (job and informational), as you never know who has a connection to the network, other Fellows, or the Segal legacy.
