Clinic Enrollment and Requirements (EnvDes/PubPol 297, for 3-4 units)

• Priority enrollment is for second-year masters students in the College of Environmental Design and Goldman School of Public Policy.  However, students in other programs who are deeply committed to community-led planning and public policy design are encouraged to also apply.

• The Dellums Clinic is a year-round Clinic with priority enrollment for students interested in both Fall and Spring experiences.  However, interested students have the option to only enroll in the Fall semester, without continuing into the Spring semester.  Spring-only enrollment is not available as the Fall experience provides for foundational theories of change, community grounding work, and essential community building.  

• There are two Clinic programming components:  1) group learning time; and 2) placement in Clinic projects for applied learning, growing, and doing.

• Group Learning:  Clinic students and staff all meet together on Fridays from 9-11:30 for group instruction, trainings, peer-learning, and/or community guest lectures and visits.  

• Clinic Projects:  After being accepted into the Clinic, students are given more information about specific Clinic projects (see below for summary information), select their top choices, and are placed accordingly.  Students can take the Clinic for 3 units (8 hours/week Clinic work) or 4 units (9 hours/week Clinic work).  

• For AY24-25, the Dellums Clinic is only accepting 14 students in order to accommodate intensive hands-on learning and professional development priorities.

  • Interested students should submit an application, available here, by April 30.

  • Interviews with Clinic staff and current Clinic students will occur by May 3rd.

  • All student applicants will be notified about their enrollment status by May 6th.
