Serving with the Caldwell Fellows

A pillar of NC State's Caldwell Fellows program is service-learning, which involves a greater level of intention and reflection than service alone, and more civic engagement than a strictly academic learning experience. This summer, two Caldwell teams worked concurrently in different communities (Pozos, Mexico, and Siler City, NC) and shared their experiences with each other remotely.
