The Community Engagement Fellowship Program in Dietrich College, which was inspired and made possible by a generous gift from Lynn S. Collester (DC 1985) and Michael D. Collester, is designed to equip students with the leadership skills needed for social change and to ignite a passion for lifelong service. The fellows take academic coursework, engage in projects that include research and work with a community partner. “The students in this program have learned that they can make local-level impacts and changes in ways that have a ripple effect,” said Kim Piatt , director of experiential learning at Dietrich College. “It brings these higher-level goals and ideals down in a manageable way that they can actually operationalize it and make a difference.”
