Grad Student Awarded Presidential Management Fellowship

Amber Van Amburg, graduate student in Social Science and American Culture, has been awarded a Presidential Management Fellowship.  Administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, this two-year program prepares fellows for positions of leadership in the Federal government.  This year 786 fellows were selected from over 5000 applicants nationwide.  Amber has accepted a position with the General Services Administration as a Program Analyst and will be moving to Washington, DC this summer with her husband Kris and her sons Ethan, age 6, and Hudson, age 5.  Amber says, “I am very honored to represent Eastern Michigan University in the PMF program, and hope to someday start a scholarship fund to pay out of pocket expenses for future PMFs from EMU.”
