White House Appoints 2020-2021 Class of White House Fellows; October 29, 2020

White House Appoints 2020-2021 Class of White House Fellows
Issued on: October 29, 2020
Today, the President’s Commission on White House Fellows announced the appointment of the 2020-2021 class of White House Fellows. The highly regarded White House Fellowship provides professionals from diverse backgrounds an opportunity to engage in public service for one year by serving in various roles in the Federal Government.
Created in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the White House Fellows Program was designed “to give the Fellows first hand, high-level experience with the workings of the Federal Government and to increase their sense of participation in national affairs.” The Fellowship was created as a non-partisan program and has maintained this tradition throughout both Republican and Democratic administrations. The mission of the White House Fellows Program is to encourage active citizenship and service to the Nation. Throughout the year, Fellows participate in an education program that expands their knowledge of leadership, policy-making, and contemporary issues. Community service plays a vital role in the program, and Fellows take part in service projects throughout the year.
The highly competitive selection process to become a White House Fellow is based on a record of professional accomplishment, evidence of leadership skills, the potential for further growth, and a commitment to service. Selected individuals spend one year working as a full-time, paid fellow to senior White House Staff, Cabinet Secretaries, and other top-ranking government officials. Applications for the 2021-2022 Fellowship year will be accepted from November 2, 2020- January 6, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. ET. The application link and additional information is available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/get-involved/fellows/.
2020-2021 CLASS OF WHITE HOUSE FELLOWS:
Steve Clagett, Jr. is from Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, and is placed at the United States Department of Labor. Steve is a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy Reserve and a Navy SEAL. Since February 2020, Steve has worked with the Baltimore Ravens Player Personnel Department. In this position, he assisted with talent selection and preparations for the virtual NFL Draft. In the previous 13 years, he deployed to the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Pacific in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Steve’s military awards include citations for combat deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Africa. Steve is a Commissioner with Maryland’s Veterans Home Commission and a small business owner. He volunteers with Farming 4 Hunger, which is a non-profit organization that provides local produce for food banks in Southern Maryland while building a stronger community. Steve earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Public Service from the University of Notre Dame. He was a 4-year letter winner and 2-time captain on the lacrosse team. He is finishing a Master of Business Administration from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business.
