Campus Compact has named Kimbeley彼得森 (C'27), a junior at 银河博彩官网 College, to the 2025-2026 cohort of Newman Civic Fellows. 全国联盟从38个州以及华盛顿特区和墨西哥选出学生公民领袖，参加这个久负盛名的为期一年的项目。

纽曼公民奖学金表彰那些表现出领导潜力和致力于在社区创造积极变化的学生。 每位奖学金获得者由校园校长或校长提名，每年表彰一名模范社区学生。

Peterson, double majoring in Biology and 全球研究, exemplifies dynamic student leadership through multiple roles: president of the African Students Association, house president of Howard House, former International Student Representative on Student Senate, co-captain of the Women's Tennis Team, and manager at the Piasa Pub.

她的公民参与强调以社区为基础的解决方案和跨文化合作，通过包容性对话和反映当地声音的研究来关注社会问题的根源。

"Kimbeley彼得森 is a dynamic and engaging leader who inspires a sense of community, fairness, and shared responsibility," said Dr. Meggan马登 (C'93), Interim President of 银河博彩官网 College. "Her collaborative spirit and systems-thinking mindset position her to develop innovative strategies to address public issues."

Peterson's philosophy aligns with the fellowship's mission: "I believe in taking initiative to address issues within our control—especially those rooted in social and cultural hierarchies. My work emphasizes listening first, recognizing that sustainable change must be shaped by many voices."

该奖学金通过虚拟活动提供学习和交流机会，每年举行为期三天的会议，为社区项目提供高达1,500美元的小额赠款，奖学金和研究生机会。

"These students exemplify the power and possibility of civic and community engagement on campus," said Campus Compact President Bobbie Laur. "They represent a bright future for public problem solving." Read more about the 纽曼公民奖学金 and Kimbeley's award.
