ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø

Rebeccah Overton ’22 is ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø’s latest Newman Civic Fellow, receiving a national fellowship that recognizes students who seek to create change within their communities.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, in collaboration with Community Memorial Hospital, began administering Moderna COVID-19 vaccines on campus today, in a first test of the University’s state-approved point of dispensing at the Hall of Presidents. 

In an election year with historic voter turnout, ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø organizations mobilized to help register new voters, encourage students to vote in Madison County, and create easy access to polling sites.

Historically, young adults have the lowest rate of voter turnout of all groups. In 2016, only 48% of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø students voted. The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Vote Project — a student volunteer organization — hopes to change that.

In our new normal, Ben Sharf is wrapping up his senior thesis for his final year at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø through distance learning in quarantine, in addition to building the nonprofit organization 6FTCloser.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø has provided portable wireless hotspot units for the Hamilton Central School District to ensure internet access for students and teachers who need the help.

Jaritza Núñez ’21 has been named as a recipient of the 2020 Newman Civic Fellowship from Campus Compact.

As a child, Hannah Spotts ’20, absolutely loved reading. Now, she shares her enthusiasm for the written word with local students as a Liberty Kids volunteer.
