The Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program

What would the world look like if you had 24 hours to change it?

The prestigious Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program honors the legacy of Howard Peters "Pete" Rawlings and the work he did as a Maryland delegate. Participants in the Fellows program are provided multiple opportunities--both academic and experiential--to grow as leaders and become champions for those whose voices may otherwise go unheard in the leadership and decision-making process.  Maintaining a commitment to those historically underrepresented in leadership positions is central to this program.


If you have at least two semesters remaining at the university and a commitment to public leadership, you are strongly encouraged to apply.   Fellows design and implement their own community action projects, take courses on leadership, serve at an internship, and meet elected officials, community advocates, and non-profit leaders. 

To learn more about the program, and get all your questions answered during an informal, face-to-face information session, please visit us on any of the following dates.  All sessions will take place in Taliaferro Hall, room 1126.  (No RSVP necessary!)
