UNCW and City of Wilmington Launch Pilot Shadowing Program for Student Leaders
Monday, February 22, 2021
Five leaders in the UNCW Student Government Association will get an inside look at local government and policymaking as part of a new shadowing program.
Each student will shadow an assigned City of Wilmington council member for two weeks during the spring semester. As part of the program, students will attend meetings and have the opportunity to work with city employees specialized in areas based on topics of interest of the council member. Students will give a presentation during a city council meeting to share learning outcomes, personal experiences and their future desire to engage in local government at the end of the program, said Jon Kapell, director for Campus Activities and Involvement in UNCW’s Division of Student Affairs.
