Helping You Plan for Career & Continued Schooling
We’re here to help you think about your growth as citizen leaders, including career, college, and graduate school planning. We’re often writing recommendation letters for recent Fellows who we know well or connecting Fellows with others in the Segal Network who have pursued similar degrees or are in similar career fields. Please reach out to Susie and Carmela (flugsilva@brandeis.edu, carmelajmb@brandeis.edu) if you would like to talk more about your grad school or career planning (or offer to share advice with others).
2016 Segal Fellow Jade Eckels
"Becoming a Segal Fellow fundamentally shaped the direction of my career. I served as a Segal Fellow Intern in D.C. in an education policy-focused role. This internship experience inspired me to apply to graduate school programs centered around education policy. When I met Segal Program Director Susie Flug-Silva in my senior year at Brandeis, I discovered that she is an alum of the Urban Education Policy (UEP) master's program at Brown University. She graciously answered my questions about the program and went above and beyond by providing a recommendation letter for me. I was accepted to the UEP program and graduated with my master's degree in 2019. It's impossible to overstate the influence that the Segal Program has had on my life and career. I continue to be inspired by the work of other Fellows and strive to be a citizen leader in all that I do."
