UW-Green Bay’s Amber Hubbard named a 2024-2025 Newman Civic Fellowship recipient
UW-Green Bay student Amber Hubbard is the 2024-2025 Newman Civic Fellow. She exemplifies remarkable leadership qualities and a strong commitment to civic engagement. She is very passionate about creating a world where homelessness is no longer an epidemic but something that can be easily prevented. With this opportunity, she plans to continue working on advocacy skills and professional development as a Social Worker. “I am very thankful to all of the faculty and staff at UW-Green Bay who have supported me on this journey and will continue to do so as I take on this new chapter as UW-Green Bay’s Newman Civic Fellow. I am thrilled to see what I can accomplish for my school and community.”
The Newman Civic Fellowship recognizes and supports community-committed students who have demonstrated an investment in finding solutions for challenges facing communities throughout the country. The fellowship, named for Campus Compact founder Frank Newman, provides training and resources that nurture students’ assets and passions to help them develop strategies to achieve social change. Through the fellowship, Campus Compact provides learning opportunities focused on the skills fellows need in order to serve as effective agents of change in addressing public problems and building equitable communities.
Hubbard has also been involved with the Emerging Leaders Experience Retreat, and Civic Scholar Program. She started the Social Work Association to focus on community engagement for students. Hubbard is a Social Work major with an emphasis in Child Welfare.
The fellowship is a one-year experience for students in which fellows have access to in-person and virtual learning opportunities, networking events, attendance at the national conference in Chicago, IL and mentoring from a local community leader. While the fellowship experience is limited to one year, participants in the Newman Civic Fellowship are invited to join a national network of community-committed peers and to enter into a long-term community of Newman Civic Fellows.
