The nomination period is now open for the Newman Civic Fellowship,
which recognizes community-committed students from Campus Compact
member institutions. The Newman Civic Fellowship honors the late
Frank Newman, one of Campus Compact's founders and a tireless
advocate for the civic engagement of higher education. You can
learn more about the 2017 Newman Civic Fellows here.
In the spirit of Dr. Newman's leadership, we are seeking
nominations of undergraduate or graduate students who engage in
collaborative action with others in order to create long-term
social change, take action in addressing issues of inequality and
political polarization, and demonstrate the motivation and
potential for effective long-term civic engagement.
Each Campus Compact member president or chancellor can nominate one
student to become a Newman Civic Fellow, who will then represent
their institution in a national group of public problem
solvers. The fellowship is a one-year experience, during which time
fellows have access to learning opportunities, networking events,
and mentoring. Through the fellowship, Campus Compact provides
in-person and virtual learning opportunities focused
on the skills fellows need to serve as
effective agents of change in addressing public problems
and in building equitable communities.
The online nomination form can be found here. Nominations will be
accepted until 11:59 PM EST on February 1, 2018.
Questions about the nomination process can be directed to Michaela
Grenier (mgrenier@compact.org).
