For Students:
Newman Civic Fellows Award
The Newman Civic Fellows Award
honors inspiring college student leaders who have demonstrated an investment in
finding solutions for challenges facing communities throughout the country.
Through service, research, and advocacy, Newman Civic Fellows are
making the most of their college experiences to better understand themselves,
the root causes of social issues, and effective mechanisms for creating lasting
change. These students represent the next generation of public problem solvers
and civic leaders. They serve as national examples of the role that higher
education can—and does play in building a better world.
Newman Civic Fellows are nominated
by college and university presidents to acknowledge motivation and ability in
public leadership. Newman Civic Fellows awards are made in
memory of
Frank Newman, who dedicated his life to creating systemic change through
education reform. At the core of Dr. Newman’s leadership was a belief in the
power of individuals to make a difference and in the power of connection with
others. Newman Civic Fellows form a unique network of leaders who will inspire
and keep hope alive for one another during college and afterward, as the network
expands exponentially each year.
Now Accepting Recommendations. Deadline: February 21, 2012
