Student & Faculty Work

Moravian College becomes part of the Millennial Fellowship, drawing on InFocus to organize the "1742 Model" Education Project 

August 15, 2018: 15 phenomenal Moravian students have been selected for the Millennial Fellowship/Campus Cohort. This is an incredible honor and opportunity.

United Nations Academic Impact and MCN teamed up this year to re-imagine a program that has run for 10 years, but focused on a small group of elite schools. This is the first year for the new global pilot. Students applied from 285 campuses across 57 nations for this leadership development program, but only 30 campuses worldwide (just 11%) were selected to host the 530 Millennium Fellows for 2018.

Millennium Fellows' Projects are projected to positively impact the lives of over 310,000 people worldwide this year. "The model will build upon our college’s InFocus themes of Sustainability, Peace & Justice, and Poverty & Inequality with three areas of particular focus (food reclamation & food insecurity, LGBTQ+ outreach & partnership, and housing insecurity) that have been identified as areas of need in the Lehigh Valley and have potential for tangible improvement through an initiative like the Millennium Fellowship."  Congratulations, Moravian Millennial Campus Cohort!
