This is a reporting fellowship. If you are looking for a sabbatical, this is not the program for you.
O’Brien fellows will leave after an academic year with a world-class project on a topic of state, regional, national or international interest. See the Our Work section of their website for examples of the journalism produced by past fellows.
Fellows are expected to:
Work and travel from a home base in the O’Brien suite in the Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fellows live in Milwaukee.
Mentor and team with top Marquette journalism students in the pursuit of an investigative or explanatory journalism project.
