淭he Newman Civic Fellowship award is a great opportunity to learn. I hope to encourage others to find their own path in serving to those around them,� Pilotte said. 淭he same people who work towards supporting the development and well-being of others are ultimately the ones who find success in their own leadership. These are the people who can and will change the world.� The New England native is heavily involved with the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society as a vice president at 麻豆传媒 – Concord檚 Community College and with the New England Region as a regional officer.

Her community service and purposeful pursuit of knowledge gives me confidence that she will realize her goal to open a recovery center and continue to serve our community.�
The Newman Civic Fellowship, named for the late Campus Compact co-founder Frank Newman, is a one-year experience emphasizing personal, professional, and civic growth. Through the fellowship, Campus Compact provides a variety of learning and networking opportunities, including a national conference in Boston of Newman Civic Fellows in partnership with the Edward M.
