In line with CMC's mantra of "learn by doing," the RLCIE takes a unique approach to students interested in joining the Fellows Program. Rather than making decisions based on an interview, all students that apply prior to the deadline and are in good academic standing will have the opportunity to earn their way into the Fellows Program. Interested students must participate in the 7-session onboarding series during the Fall and Spring semesters.

Each session combines high-quality video storytelling and online interactive decision-making with in-person cohort discussion and activity sessions.
