Campus Compact
welcomes 273 Newman Civic Fellows for 2017!
The
redesigned Newman Civic Fellowship recognizes and supports
community-committed students in their civic, professional, and
personal growth. Through the fellowship, Fellows have access to
in-person and virtual learning opportunities including a national conference
of Newman Civic Fellows and access to exclusive scholarship and post
graduate opportunities. We've seen a dramatic increase in nominations
this year and we are eager to begin learning together.
"The cultivation of
community-committed leaders has never been more crucial," said
Campus Compact president Andrew Seligsohn. "We rebuilt the
Newman Civic Fellowship experience because our country needs more
people who know how to bring communities together for positive
change. We are thrilled to welcome this group of 273 exemplary
students as the first cohort to participate in this new model."
