Description
|
CGU Community Fellows are
advanced graduate students and professional staff members
from a wide range of community service agencies who are
deeply committed to making a significant difference in their
communities. These professionals benefit from a course of
graduate study that is applied to the needs of their
organizations. Successful applicants must occupy a position
that would allow them to improve the lives of under- served
constituencies by implementing theory and strategy learned
at CGU. Fellows come from relevant disciplines that include
Behavioral and Organizational Sciences; Management,
Education Administration, Politics and Economics, and
Information Science.
Claremont Graduate
University's Community Fellows Program benefits many Los
Angeles area organizations and their under-served
constituencies. It provides student consultants to local
agencies, and brings some of Southern California's most
dedicated community leaders to the University to pursue
further education. Consultants are able to offer expertise
in areas such as marketing, program evaluation, survey
research, statistical analyses, education administration,
organizational change, human resources, staff training,
finance, and information technology.
The Community Fellows
Program aims to strengthen ties between the University and
under-served populations by pursuing the following three
goals: (1) help private, civic, and community-based
nonprofit organizations address the needs of historically
under-served populations by completing important projects
that might not otherwise be feasible or affordable; (2)
provide paid consulting opportunities to advanced graduate
students who are committed to working with under-served
populations; and (3) increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of community nonprofit organizations through
sponsoring advanced education for community
leaders.
