…The Scoville Fellowship gave me an opportunity to live outside my hometown for the first time. It enabled me to do meaningful work in our Capital and meet lots of people I had known of and admired for years. I was able to work on important issues from within the center of our government for a change, rather than from 2000 miles away. It was a tremendous growth experience and one that I’ll carry with me always.
