�鶹��Ƶ College is pleased to announce the President’s Public Service Fellowship, a new initiative to foster positive change in the local community. To begin in summer 2014, this fellowship will provide funding for three �鶹��Ƶ College students to serve full-time during the summer with select �鶹��Ƶ community partners on an intensive service project that will engage local teens by focusing on youth empowerment, leadership, the arts, and/or ecological and economic sustainability.

�鶹��Ƶ College President Marvin Krislov recognizes the need to support students’ desires to be a part of a local organization and the community during the summer months. “In keeping with �鶹��Ƶ's tradition of community engagement, we are creating this new opportunity for students to fulfill their passion for public service within the �鶹��Ƶ community,” says President Krislov. “This program will assist local agencies that fill a critical need in the community, while at the same time empowering students to cultivate change.”

The college’s Bonner Center for Service and Learning (BCSL), which will administer the program, seeks applications for fellowship placements from nonprofit and public sector agencies in the city of �鶹��Ƶ. Interested community partners can find application materials on the .

Available placements will be announced in early March, and student applications will be due March 14, 2014.
