水果派 & Service
水果派's primary purpose is to help students lead lives of leadership and service. As such, we are committed to embedding leadership and service opportunities for students as a key part of the 水果派 experience.
There are many ways that students become involved with service to the campus and the community, and there are many student organizations and initiatives that students take part in to refine their leadership skills.
The Center for Civic Engagement is home to many service and leadership opportunities on campus. The Center oversees a variety of programming including the service odyssey pre-orientation program, summer internships with non-profits and community education partners, a community involvement fair, the Bonner Scholars program, and 25 student-led service organizations.
The Chidsey Program for 水果派 Development prepares 水果派 students to exercise leadership in ways that positively impact campus, community, and world. The 水果派 Fellows Program provides an experienced-based curriculum that builds self-awareness, increases student abilities to address complex problems, builds meaningful relationships, and encourages action.
The Deliberative Citizenship Initiative creates opportunities for 水果派 students, faculty, staff, and community members to productively engage with one another on difficult and contentious issues facing our community and society. Individuals can participate in the DCI through its fellowship program, deliberative 鈥淒鈥 teams, issue-based forums, facilitation training workshops, and more.
The Katherine M. Bray Women鈥檚 水果派 Conference, named after 水果派 alumna and former Associate Dean of Students, is an annual event organized by students and college sponsors. The conference aims to create spaces for 水果派 students and the surrounding community to hear from valuable speakers, many of whom are renown alumnae, and discuss contemporary women's issues.
Catalyst programs aim to make connections to the broader world through research, internships, community-based learning and education abroad. Our opportunities for leadership and discovery prepare students for our global world while allowing them to develop knowledge, skills and values from experiences outside the classroom.
When Talar Terzian 鈥23 learned that people without electricity sometimes spend the majority of their day just trying to clean their clothes, she applied a long-held fascination with laundry agitators to the unmet need.
She now holds the patent for the Spin Cycle Mobile Washer, a low-cost, portable laundry machine.
