Thanks to members of the Haas Center's 2008 Fellowships Program Selection Committees, who generously donated their time, energy and expertise to an important service experience for Stanford students.
This is a service-learning program, in which students apply classroom knowledge in a professional setting. Fellowships Program staff offer a two-unit field preparatory course, workshops, and individual consultations to prepare students for their summer work. Upon their return, students meet with staff to debrief, reflect on their experiences, and consider follow-up activities and coursework.
