Fellows will also participate in virtual programming with accomplished minds in STEM, government, and society, will take part in a tailored mentorship program, will be exposed to research, internship, and career opportunities in the four Quad countries (Australia, India, Japan, or the United States), and will have opportunities to participate in small-group projects focused on Quad priority areas in STEM.
