Belinda Atta, public administration junior, has been awarded the 2019 Newman Civic Fellowship from the Boston-based non-profit organization Campus Compact. Campus Compact’s Newman Civic Fellowship, named after co-founder Frank Newman, is a one-year program that emphasizes personal, professional and civic growth for students who have demonstrated leadership and an investment in solving public issues.
“I have learned that for social issues to be addressed and solved, we must educate those who lack knowledge about specific communities of people,” said Atta, a first-generation college student. “We should empower the powerless to enable them to advocate for themselves.“
