New Horizons
Midwest Campus Compact Citizen-Scholar Fellowship Program
About the program
The New Horizons Fellowship Program is a new initiative to afford students the opportunity to explore a variety of areas around community service. The program will expose students to a variety of local agencies, which serve a broad population with a variety of issues. Students selected for the program will gain an understanding of community service and service learning while learning about the theory behind such disciplines. Reflective activities will serve as a crucial component to the program and will provide a unique aspect to the on-going meetings the students will attend with the program coordinator.
