The Newman Civic Fellowship is a year-long program that recognizes and supports student public problem solvers. The fellowship, named for Campus Compact founder Frank Newman, provides students with opportunities to nurture their assets and help them develop strategies for social change—creating a network of connected and engaged student leaders who can support one another in making positive change. 

Fellows participate in in-person and virtual learning opportunities, networking events, and mentoring. While the fellowship experience is limited to one year, participants in the Newman Civic Fellowship are invited to join a national network of community-committed peers and to enter a long-term community of Fellows.
