Norton Fellows Program

The committee will accept applications from rising seniors and juniors only (Classes of 2022 and 2023). Following the successful implementation of their projects, the Norton Fellows will then serve the following academic year as models of engaged citizenship, community-mindedness, and purposeful education. This commitment can take many different forms and will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

All application materials are due by Thursday, April 15. Committee decisions will be released in early May. The committee may reach out to applicants during the month of April to request additional information or to discuss ways to make their proposals more viable.

To be a Norton Fellow, a student must accomplish all of the following:

• Complete the application process by April 15, 2021;
• Design a four- to six-week summer project that connects directly to themes surrounding the common good;
• Implement the project over the summer of 2021, remaining in close contact with the director of the Norton Center;
• Adapt and apply their experiences to campus life upon return in the 2021-22 academic year, significantly impacting our community in the process.
