Congratulations to 2L Andrew Otanes, 2L Kate Rumisek, 2L Lucas Piroli, 2L Cole McLellan, and 3L Alexa Kays on this outstanding achievement. The Florida Gubernatorial Fellows Program offers top students from Florida's public and private universities a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in key areas of state government. Over the course of their nine- month fellowship in Tallahassee, participants receive advanced on-the-job training and an inside look at the

policymaking process. As Fellows, they take on meaningful roles, work alongside senior state leaders, and contribute their talents in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. We're thrilled to see so many FSU Law students representing our college at the highest levels of state government.
