Description
The Newman Civic Fellowship is a year-long program from Campus Compact that recognizes and nurtures student leaders who are committed to public problem-solving and civic engagement at member institutions. Fellows are nominated by their institution’s president or chancellor and selected for their demonstrated leadership potential and dedication to community engagement. The program offers a robust suite of learning and networking opportunities, including virtual events, an annual in-person convening, leadership development with a local mentor, and access to a nationwide network of student leaders. Fellows may also apply for mini-grants to support social impact projects, and benefit from national recognition, scholarship opportunities, and chances to present or publish their work.
