TO THE EDITOR:
If you’re a freshman looking for a place on campus to seriously discuss the meaning and importance of leadership, service, diversity, ethics, morality and everything in between, applying to be a member of the North Carolina Fellows Program might be the next step for you.
We’re a tight-knit community engaged in all different aspects of University and local life, and we’d love for you to join us.
The N.C. Fellows Program is a process of individual and collaborative growth through inquiry and reflection. Fellows take a three-credit seminar on leadership philosophies and styles in the fall semester of their sophomore year and go on weekend retreats in their freshman, junior and senior years. Fellows can also apply for partial funding for summer internships and they attend monthly meetings led by community members, professors, and fellow program members during the academic year.
We strongly encourage anyone that is interested in any of the aforementioned facets of the program to apply. There are no GPA requirements, no right or wrong answers, and certainly no concrete descriptions of what exactly it is that this program has to offer you. However, it is undeniable that the program has value.
Please visit this site for more information about the program. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Friday in the Carolina Leadership Development office (Student Union, Room 3505).
