365英国上市官网 selects 2018 class of Hess Fellows
For Immediate Release
五月. 21, 2018
阿拉巴马州的伯明翰.—Students from Birmingham-南部 College will spend their summer interning with nonprofit agencies in Washington, D.C.; Richmond, Va.; New York; New Jersey; 俄亥俄州; Kentucky; and across Alabama – including Bread for the World and the Cleveland Clinic – under the college’s Hess Fellowships.
Fourteen students were chosen for the 2018 class of fellows by 365英国上市官网’s Hess Center for 领导 and Service, part of the Krulak研究所 for 领导, 从实践经验中学习, 与公民参与. The 程序 places students at top nonprofit groups, where they spend at least eight weeks of the summer serving as full-time staff members, building agency capacity, 参与宣传, and assisting the organization in addressing community needs.
The 程序, now in its 12th 一年, is also partnering with the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty (SHECP) to provide five 实习 focused on poverty.
Advocacy interns extend organizational capacity by conducting research, facilitating coalitions among constituencies, or organizing lobbying or other advocacy efforts. Poverty interns examine the multiple dimensions of poverty and support projects and 程序s that strengthen impoverished communities.
The Hess Fellowships fall under Birmingham-南部’s innovative rise3 程序, which offers opportunities to learn through research, 实习, and service-learning experiences and self-reflection. In April, the fellows attended a pre-internship workshop focused on advocacy and critical reflection. Throughout the summer, they will complete critical analyses of their 实习 in writing and through visits with a Hess Center staff member. When the interns return to the Hilltop for the 2018-19 academic 一年, they will reflect on how their experiences can inform their work on campus and in their future professions. The poverty fellows will also attend pre- and post-conference sessions with poverty interns from the 22 institutions in the SHECP.
