Michigan EPFP Alumni
Since its establishment in 1975, over 800 fellows
have participated in the Michigan program. They come from all walks of life and
from a wide range of organizations, including schools, colleges, universities,
government agencies, private businesses, associations, and non-profit groups.
There is no particular formula that the fellows fit into; they range in age from
25 to 55, come from a variety of backgrounds, and have a broad set of
experiences.
It is this variety that makes participating in
EPFP a unique experience. The Michigan EPFP population is much more diverse than
the total Michigan population, and there have been more female fellows (58 percent) in this state than male fellows
(42 percent). This rich mix of
participants is evidence of the program's long-standing commitment to recruiting
women and minorities, and the collaborative nature of the program.
