CCPA Fellows serve by invitation and are at the center of the SMU CCPA communication. They devise and create content for SMUCCPA.com, both pages, and blog posts, including posting all-important internship and job opportunities. Often you will see them “takeover” SMU CCPA’s social media channels. Their diligent work brings important information and lots of fun to SMUCCPA.com. Make sure you subscribe to receive emails from CCPA so you don’t miss a single blog post.
