AJ Galluzzi is getting used to the notion that \u201cit was meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last fall, Galluzzi\u2014a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior pursuing bachelor\u2019s degrees in both economics and finance and a member of the Innovations in Honors program\u2014thought he had landed a coveted summer internship in Nashville.<\/p>\n

That opportunity fell through, but\u2014around the same period\u2014he had also applied for a Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) Junior Summer Institute (JSI) Fellowship \u201cas a shot in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, that \u201cshot in the dark\u201d has become a defining moment.<\/p>\n

Galluzzi, who is set to graduate from UTC in December, has been awarded a spot in the highly competitive PPIA JSI program at the University of Michigan\u2019s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Designed to prepare undergraduates for graduate study and careers in public service, the program offers a rigorous academic experience at one of the nation\u2019s top public policy institutions.<\/p>\n

As one of just 24 students nationwide selected for the Michigan cohort, Galluzzi will spend seven weeks\u2014June 8 through July 27\u2014immersed in intensive coursework. His studies will focus on statistics, microeconomics, writing and policy analysis, equipping him with the critical skills necessary for graduate school and a future in public policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAJ is the quintessential honors student,\u201d said Dr. Trey Straussberger, director of UTC\u2019s Office of National Scholarships. \u201cHe\u2019s engaged in the community both in UTC and in Chattanooga. He\u2019s passionate about making an impact on the world and he\u2019s decided that he wants to do that through public policy\u2014which I think shows a dedication to service that we try to instill both in the Honors College and at UTC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Galluzzi is the fourth UTC student in recent years to land the prestigious PPIA JSI fellowship, joining Lola Oke<\/strong><\/a> (2022 Princeton University cohort), Jannat Saeed<\/strong><\/a> (2023 Princeton) and Emma Sprayberry<\/strong><\/a> (2023 Carnegie Mellon University).<\/p>\n

A 2022 graduate of Pope John Paul II High School in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Galluzzi\u2019s path to public policy wasn\u2019t traditional. As a business major, he had long envisioned a finance-driven career\u2014until a single class changed his perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy passion for public policy started last spring when I took a class with Dr. (Sheena) Murray called Economics of Gender, Race and Inequality,\u201d he recalled. \u201cIt really sparked my interest; it shifted me away from monetary policy and toward public policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said his coursework since then, including public finance, labor economics and policy-driven research papers, has continued to reinforce that shift.<\/p>\n

Before long, he realized that was where he wanted to make an impact.<\/p>\n

At the encouragement of Straussberger, Galluzzi applied for the PPIA fellowship\u2014though he admitted he wasn\u2019t sure he had a real shot.<\/p>\n

He recalled a conversation he had with his brother, Michael\u2014recipient of a bachelor\u2019s degree in political science from UTC in 2022\u2014as he was completing the application process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was finishing up my application, just working on an essay, and my brother asked, \u2018What are you doing?\u2019 I told him, \u2018I\u2019m just applying. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to get in, but I just want to see what happens,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then I got the email and I was shocked. I was like, \u2018There\u2019s no way. I can\u2019t believe this just happened.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, it\u2019s just been shock and awe, just waiting for the summer to start. I\u2019m really excited to go to Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n

For more than 40 years, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy<\/strong><\/a> has hosted the PPIA JSI summer program to prepare undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds for graduate study in public policy and international affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic policy touches almost every discipline,\u201d Straussberger explained. \u201cHow we approach economic development, how we craft policies and laws that foster small businesses or improve the economy\u2014those are roles that students like AJ can take on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond the academic training, PPIA fellows receive a $1,500 stipend\u2014along with fully covered travel expenses, housing, meals, books and professional development opportunities.<\/p>\n

The fellowship also makes graduate school more accessible, providing a $5,000 scholarship to a PPIA consortium graduate school, which\u2014in addition to Michigan\u2014includes Carnegie Mellon University, Princeton University, University of Minnesota, University of Washington and University of California, Berkeley.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting that they give me that opportunity to further my education,\u201d Galluzzi said, \u201cand knowing that they will assist financially is really promising.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Galluzzi isn\u2019t entirely sure where his career will take him, he believes this program will help bring some clarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could tell you exactly what I want to do but I\u2019m still figuring that out,\u201d he said. \u201cI think this program will give me the right nudge. It\u2019s a great first step; it\u2019s a hell of a first step, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s still getting used to the idea of spending the summer in Ann Arbor, Michigan, he\u2019s already starting to see signs that he\u2019s headed in the right direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was meant to be,\u201d he said. \u201cI saw someone wearing a Michigan sweatshirt yesterday\u2014and then today I saw someone with a Michigan hat. I was like, \u2018I\u2019ll be there soon.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
