When Angela Maloney heard about the Newman Civic Fellowship through the Morgridge Center’s newsletter, Morgridge Mail, she felt that her collegiate experience and interests aligned strongly with the mission of the fellowship.

For two years, she had worked with the BadgersVote Coalition and with the League of Women Voters, so the fellowship opportunity naturally lined up with her experience with civic engagement at UW. The fellowship offered Maloney a chance to pursue opportunities both socially and educationally to build on her interest in public service and community organizing.

“I enjoy helping people through educating them on government services and how they can be involved in civic processes that impact them,” Maloney says about her interest in civic engagement and public service.

The Newman Civic Fellowship is a year-long program offered by Campus Compact that recognizes student leaders who are engaged with their local communities. This program offers scholarship opportunities, leadership and networking conferences, and virtual learning and networking events to connect students around the country with other community-engaged scholars.
