Career+Civic: Accepting Nominations for 2026-2027 Newman Civic Fellowship
The Career & Civic Engagement Center is welcoming nominations for the 2026-2027 Campus Compact Newman Civic Fellowship.
The Newman Civic Fellowship is a one-year experience that provides students with training and resources that nurture their assets and passions to help them develop strategies for social change. 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 building equitable communities.
Eligibility
The Newman Civic Fellowship is intended to honor the leadership legacy of Campus Compact founder Frank Newman by recognizing community-committed students who:
- Engage in collaborative action with others from campus or from surrounding communities 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.
In addition to these core characteristics, Newman Civic Fellow nominees must also meet the following eligibility criteria:
