Leaders change the world in ways that are transformative, inclusive and long lasting. As a Rawlings Fellow, you engage in a two-semester holistic leadership experience with a cohort of fellow changemakers from all majors. Rawlings Fellows seek out or create opportunities to champion the voices for those who would otherwise go unheard, demonstrate a commitment to ethical leadership, and take an active interest in the community by mentoring and encouraging others. You will work side-by-side with others who share your passion, and you will develop the leadership skills to harness and build upon a community’s collective commitment for change.

About the Program
Participation in the Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program empowers students to act by equipping them with the necessary skills, resources and support for leadership roles, while engaging in areas of cultural pluralism, advocacy and change. Fellows design and implement their own community action projects, take leadership courses, serve at an internship, and meet elected officials, community advocates and nonprofit leaders. Each Fellow’s experience in the program will be guided by his or her interest in a specific policy issue.
The program continues the legacy of Howard Peters “Pete” Rawlings and the work he did as a Delegate in the State of Maryland. He dedicated his life’s work to developing ethical
and expert public leaders.
