Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to participate in a new virtual campus-wide summer program: We CU Community Engaged Scholars. Please submit your interest here ASAP; the program begins June 10 and runs for 10 weeks.
This summer scholars program is launching to empower University of Illinois students to respond to community needs and challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Scholars will receive the following:
- A new community-based project matched to your interests, or support for existing projects, that can be completed remotely
- Tools for tracking service hours and activities
- Online training and support
- Opportunity to apply for mini grants to offset costs associated with service activities
- Honor and recognition for completing at least 40 hours of service during the 10-week summer program
We CU Community Engaged Scholars may address a range of COVID-19 issues related to health promotion and disease prevention, economic recovery, social equity, communication, technology, and more. Scholars will be trained, supported, and actively engaged in the service and engagement mission of our university.
Please refer to the one-page program summary, including frequently asked questions, and contact Emily Stone (ers@illinois.edu) with additional questions. You may submit your interest in joining the program at go.illinois.edu/WeCUsummer2020.
