Northern Michigan University has selected a new group of students to participate in the Student Leader Fellowship Program. The SLFP is a two-year program that focuses on leadership development and community service.

During the program students participate in fall retreats, a leadership theory and practice class and Skill Builder! workshops. In the first year, fellows are matched with community mentors. Participants then plan, organize and implement a community service internship to complete the program.

The following students have been accepted for the program (hometowns listed alphabetically and parents’ names in parentheses):
