STARKVILLE, Miss.—Eighteen fellows representing various statewide institutions have graduated from the Mississippi Education Policy Fellowship Program, or EPFP. 

Hosted by Mississippi State University’s Social Science Research Center, the Mississippi EPFP brings together leaders, practitioners and advocates from preschool through 12th grade and higher education for a professional development program to advance supportive policies for Mississippi’s students. For nine months, fellows learn about specific policy issues, policymaking and implementation processes; the intersections of local, state and national policies; and how effective leaders function in the policy environment.
