The opportunity to work with students who drive the fellows toward really meaningful dialogue is one of the factors that led Sosa to accept this fellowship, which grants fellows a monthly stipend.
"I'm very confident that there will be some incredible solutions discussed that can be implemented, not only in Texas but all over the country," Sosa said.
Jennifer Phillips, IOP coordinator of Fellows and Study Groups, spoke about the wide range of political issues that the semesters study groups will offer.
"We have an outstanding group of fellows representing diverse interests, perspectives and experiences," she said.
Political experts in their respective fields, each of the fellows were invited because of their active participation in national political affairs and their qualifications to discuss topics of interest to the undergraduate population.
A Study Group Open House will be held on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Loker Commons.
