16 2013-2014 California State University, Fresno General Catalog
The Kenneth L. Maddy Institute was
established to honor the legacy of one
of California’s most principled and
effective legislative leaders of the last
half of the 20th Century by engag-ing,
preparing, and inspiring a new
generation of governmental leaders
for the 21st Century.
The institute’s work is focused in
three key areas: government leader-ship,
policy analysis, and citizen
participation.
Government Leadership
– Scholar Intern Programs
Our work in the area of govern-ment
leadership involves preparing
the next generation of political and
governmental leaders. One of the
most important means to accomplish
this is to provide intern scholarships
for university students so they can be
exposed to, learn from, and be men-tored
by today’s political and govern-mental
leaders. The Maddy Institute
provides opportunities to complete an
intern scholarship in a congressional
office, state legislator’s office, or local
government in Fresno and other cites
in the San Joaquin Valley, Sacramen-to,
and Washington, D.C.
Students from all majors are encour-aged
to apply. Applicants must have
a minimum 3.0 GPA and have com-pleted
60 units by the time they begin
their internship. Application require-ments
can be found at
maddyinstitute.org/govt/internships/
index.html.
Policy Analysis
Our work in the area of policy
analysis involves providing a non-partisan,
interdisciplinary, fact-driven
analysis of public policy issues. We
accomplish this through the Maddy
Daily e-newsletter and our public
affairs programs — The Maddy
Report TV program and The Maddy
Forum radio program/podcast. The
goal of these programs is to encour-age
critical questioning to foster a
deeper understanding of the issues
facing our nation, state, and region
by a thoughtful, objective, fair, and

include a focus on how the particular issue

Citizen Participation
Our work in the area of citizen participa-tion
involves engaging citizens of all ages
and inspiring them to follow Senator
Maddy’s example of active citizen involve-ment.
We accomplish this through out
Maddy Associates program which brings
together a diverse array of distinguished
state and national speakers to discuss
topics of importance to our region, our
state, and our nation. The Maddy Associ-ates
program has been designed to be the
key public affairs forum to for Central
California — a place where community
leaders and those concerned about our re-gion
can learn and debate issues of public
concern. (See maddyinstitute.org/citizen/in-dex.
