One of the integral components of the NUFP is the flexibility to develop your own relationship and expectations with your mentor based on your interests and background; however, another essential component of the NUFP are the relationships you will develop with your class of Fellows. The opportunity to have a shared experience with 100+ Fellows is invaluable, and as you listen, learn, and share with one another through face-to-face interaction and through electronic media, a community of support and camaraderie will be built. In order to help facilitate these interactions, we have created a handbook as a means to ensure that all of you are having a similar experience and are getting the most out of the program.
The goal of this handbook is to provide a foundation to your NUFP experience. It will help you and your mentor in setting expectations for one another and give you a clear picture as to what a strong Fellow experience will look like. While we do have mandatory shared components of the program, you have great flexibility in how you achieve these as well as your own opportunity to develop an individual component.
By no means should this document define your entire experience. Use your interests, background, and mentor to make the most of your individual components, but without forgetting about the shared components. We want this to be your experience, but we also want it to be the NUFP experience!
