• Provide in-depth pre-deployment training that meets expectations and needs of AP, AP partners, Fellows, and universities
• Ensure adequate preparation for, and follow-through from, summer work by engaging students in Fellowship activities in the spring and fall
• Engage universities and AP partners in development of work plans wherever possible
• Participate in a joint evaluation process, ensuring that programmatic changes & improvements reflect the interests of both AP and the university 
• Measure the “empowerment” of students by working closely with university career centers to demonstrate the value added to students’ professional and academic careers
• Encourage scholarly work and research on social justice issues by providing students with on-line publishing opportunities for capstone papers or theses
