Newman Civic Fellowship Award Nominations
Truman has the opportunity to recognize one engaged student leader through the Newman Civic Fellow Award sponsored by the national Campus Compact. President Paino can nominate one student, who will automatically receive this award. The student must be a sophomore or junior this year and have demonstrated an investment in finding solutions for challenges facing communities throughout the country.
Faculty or staff members who would like to recommend a student for the award should send a brief description to Baillie Cloyd at bcloyd@truman.edu by March 18.
Award Summary:
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.
Nomination Guidelines and Award Process:
Sophomores and juniors at four-year institutions and second year students at two-year institutions are eligible for nomination.
Only Campus Compact member college and university presidents may nominate students.
Only one student per campus may be nominated each year.
Newman Civic Fellows will receive certificates and invitations to join the Newman Civic Fellows network shortly after the nomination process is closed.
