Biographical / historical:

The Governor's Fellows program aimed to provide high quality applied learning opportunities to students from the Commonwealth currently enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs. Governor Charles S. Robb appointed A. E. Dick Howard as counselor to the Governor in 1982. One of his actions was to create the Governor's Fellows Program, a program that invited college and graduate students to apply to serve for a summer in the Governor's Office. Through professional mentorships, community service, and challenging projects, the mission was to strengthen ties of the office to Virginia communities.
