Wonder what Union’s current Minerva Fellows are up to? Find out by reading – and responding to – their blogs.
“The Fellows love to hear from us on campus,” said Tom McEvoy, director of Minerva Programs. “Each Fellow has a blog, and all blogs allow you to post comments.”
Under the popular Minerva Fellows Program, now in its third year, eight members of the class of 2010 are working independently or with non-government organizations in various countries abroad. They help provide entrepreneurial solutions to social, economic and humanitarian hardships faced by local peoples. They’ll return to Union in the spring to share their experiences with the campus community.
