Molly Bode '09, Jennifer Murray '09 and William Schpero '10 will serve as fellows in the president's office and collaborate with Kim on a variety of issues, Broadus said.
"We're incredibly excited to have these Presidential Fellows," Broadus said. "I think it speaks to the success of the program this past year and the performance of the 2009-2010 fellows."
The Presidential Fellows program which began in 2009 with four members of the Class of 2010 has doubled in size since its inception, although Broadus said she does not expect the program to grow much larger in the future.
Bode, who was appointed for a second year as a senior fellow, will primarily work on Kim's global health initiatives, including projects focusing on Haitian recovery following the Jan. 12 earthquake, she said.
Schpero will be working on campus health issues related to alcohol use and sexual assault, collaborating with the Student and Presidential Alcohol Harm Reduction Committee and the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault, Schpero said. He will also help develop the upcoming Presidential Lecture series, he said.
"I couldn't imagine a better way to get experience with project management, messaging and research all which are likely critical to any career," he said.
Murray will collaborate with Bode on projects related to global health and will also help prepare Kim for speaking events and meetings, she said in an e-mail to The Dartmouth.
Although the program is geared towards recruiting recent graduates, anyone who has graduated from the College and its graduate schools is eligible to be selected, Broadus said.
As recent graduates of the College, the fellows are able to bring a "unique perspective" to their roles, Bode said.
The ideal Presidential Fellow candidate is someone with the ability to synthesize and summarize information at an "executive level" and who possesses an understanding of "various areas of campus" and how they relate to one another, Broadus said.
"In general, we were looking for someone with a variety of experiences from Dartmouth multiple perspectives of the institution," she said.
"One of the most important justifications of the fellowship is that it allows young alumni a chance to work closely with administrators on campus issues and initiatives," Schpero said.
While last year's fellows rotated between three administrative offices the Office of the President, the Dean of the Faculty's office and the Office of Public Affairs this year's fellows will work in a single office for the entire year, Broadus said.
The year-long appointment will allow the fellows to develop "in-depth, working knowledge" of certain projects and establish deeper connections with high level administrators, Bode said.
Tiffany Pollack '10 will be working in the Office of Public Affairs participating in projects that range from website maintenance to multimedia development, according to Broadus.
"I could not imagine a better way to gain valuable skills and knowledge while doing work that I enjoy," Pollack wrote in an e-mail to The Dartmouth.
Derikka Mobley '10 will be a fellow in the Office of Development and Jennifer Pollock Th'08 will work in the Office of Sustainability. Jonathan Blevins '10 will work in the Office of the Provost while James Nzukie Tu'10 will work on the strategic budget reduction and investment process, Broadus said.
"We're hopeful that this year's format will not only serve the offices better but will provide a better experience for the fellows," Broadus said.
Each office was responsible for selecting candidates for interviews after an initial screening process conducted by Broadus, Ann Malenka, director of Administration and Special Projects and Janet Terp, senior assistant to the Dean of the Faculty and Development Associate, Broadus said.
"I think when you look at the breadth of experience the fellows bring back to campus, that it's a nice opportunity to take the very best of what we talk about providing to our students and leveraging that to continue to provide a really great experience for our students," Broadus said. "It brings it back full circle."
The eight Presidential Fellows are full-time, salaried staff members of the College and will receive health benefits and responsibilities equal to that of any other administrative-level employee, Broadus said. Last year's fellow received a graduate stipend from the College, The Dartmouth previously reported.
Schpero is a former member of The Dartmouth Senior Staff.
