Bonner Fellow Students

Bonner Fellows invest many hours making connections between campus and community partners. They work as dedicated student staff learning the ins and outs of their community partner and they integrate their academics and community placement through writing reflections and sharing their work in public presentations. Bonner Fellows are highly motivated leaders amongst their peers, committed to community service, and dedicated to personal growth.
