The Rose Center’s two fellowship programs feature working retreats at the beginning, middle and end of the program year where the fellows from each cohort city report on their respective challenge topics and receive advice from their faculty, peers, guest subject matter experts, and program staff. These are often held in conjunction with the annual meetings of the center’s two parent organizations, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and National League of Cities (NLC) and include tours of local projects relevant to the cohort’s selected topics.
