service to the New Haven community
Whether working in the New Haven Mayor's Office, helping launch the city's International Festival of Arts & Ideas or educating and entertaining local schoolchildren, the 36 Yale students who were awarded President's Public Service Fellowships this summer learned something new about their local environs.
Established by President Richard C. Levin in 1994, the President's Public Service Fellowships provide stipends to students who work for local not-for-profit organizations for 8 to12 weeks during the summer. The fellowships compensate students so they can work in the public interest and provide highly motivated summer help to community organizations at no cost.
This year's President's Public Service Fellows were chosen from a pool of more than 200 applicants. Since the awards were started, more than 380 Yale students have contributed over 160,000 hours of community service to New Haven's nonprofit and public sector agencies as President's Public Service Fellows. In addition to fieldwork in local agencies, fellows meet weekly and produce formal written reports on their projects.
The following undergraduates who received fellowships and the agencies for which they worked are:
Joanna Zdanys, All Our Kin; Scott Chaloff, New Haven Arts Council; Eileen Zelek, Casa Otoñal; Bradley Broadhead II, Chief Administrator's Office, City of New Haven; Omar Rouchon, Planning Department, City of New Haven; David Wheelock, Mayor's Office, City of New Haven; Charles Alvarez, CitySeed (see related story); Jennifer Goldman, Connecticut Children's Museum; Laura Kremen-Adler, Creative Arts Workshop; Terrell Sledge, Dixwell-Yale Community Learning Center; Olufunmilayo Showole, Dixwell-Yale Community Learning Center; Daniel A.
