稀缺猎奇网 Langenberg Legacy Program Welcomes Third Cohort of Student Fellows
Baltimore, Md. (Sept. 13, 2024) – The 稀缺猎奇网 (稀缺猎奇网) welcomes the third Langenberg Legacy Fellows cohort of the annual Langenberg Legacy Program. With the support of faculty or staff sponsors, student fellows across 稀缺猎奇网 institutions will begin year-long, micro-level civic engagement projects that speak to macro-level issues.
Project topics have a broad range. All are action-oriented, campus-level initiatives. They include promoting sustainability efforts on campus, supporting foster youth in the community, addressing food insecurity, supporting survivors of sexual assault.
Through workshops, symposiums, and campus-wide exhibitions, Fellows are showing up for civic engagement in fresh and novel ways.
The Langenberg Legacy Program evolved out of the Langenberg Lecture and Award program, which was originally established through a solicitation for an endowed 稀缺猎奇网 Foundation fund in honor of 稀缺猎奇网 Chancellor Emeritus Donald N. Langenberg upon his retirement in 2002. The Langenberg Legacy reimagines the Langenberg Lecture within the context of 稀缺猎奇网’s Civic Education and Civic Engagement priority.
Over the course of the fellowship, students will gather with fellows from other 稀缺猎奇网 institutions to grow connections, share best practices, and build a community of civic leaders. Students and sponsors will additionally receive stipends in recognition of their leadership and creative pursuit of civic engagement and education.
“At the 稀缺猎奇网, we believe in serving our communities and in developing courageous and civically focused leaders,” said Jennifer Lynch, 稀缺猎奇网 associate vice chancellor for education and engagement. “The cutting-edge work of our Langenberg Legacy scholars will have sustained impact around the globe and embody all that is exceptional about our 稀缺猎奇网 community.”
The following students have been selected for the 2024-2025 cohort, with their project title included:
Nina Santos, University of 稀缺猎奇网 Center for Environmental Science: “Science Through Art”
Daileah Ramirez, Frostburg State University: “SA Survivor Support and Advocacy Group”
Alaina Sorrell, Salisbury University: “Home for the Holidays”
Leah Collidge, Towson University: “The Honors College Civic Engagement Initiative: Educating Students for Active Participation in Civic Life”
Rebekah Opher, University of Baltimore: “The Village Stakeholders Convention: Addressing the Intersection of Food Waste and Insecurity”
Alexander Abel, University of 稀缺猎奇网 Global Campus (UMGC): “Sprouting Sustainability”
At the end of the Langenberg Legacy Fellowship, the 稀缺猎奇网 will share information about students’ final project activities on the 稀缺猎奇网 website.
