Newman Civic Fellows are recommended by college and university presidents to acknowledge motivation and ability in public leadership. This award is designed to honor students who are engaged in systemic change. Each student who is nominated will become a Newman Civic Fellow, receive a certificate and join a national network of fellows from past years. Newman Civic Fellows awards are made in memory of Frank Newman, one of the founders of Campus Compact, who dedicated his life to creating systemic change through education reform. Please encourage presidents and chancellors to nominate a student today! The deadline for nominations is March 1, 2013.
The Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award recognizes one senior faculty member each year. Honorees are recognized for exemplary engaged scholarship, including leadership in advancing students' civic learning, conducting community-based research, fostering reciprocal community partnerships, building institutional commitments to service-learning and civic engagement, and other means of enhancing higher education's contributions to the public good. The award is named in honor of Thomas Ehrlich, former chair of the Campus Compact board of directors and president emeritus of Indiana University. For more information, click here.
