The CSRD Social Cohesion Dialogue [SCD] Student Fellows program provides ASU students with unique opportunities to grow as campus leaders. Fellows connect with their campus communities and facilitate crucial conversations that can usher in change and a brighter future.
The SCD Student Fellows program catalyzes student engagement with and across ASU campus communities. This year’s program creates dynamic and thought-provoking conversations about environmental justice, climate crisis, human rights, culture, cycles of violence, race, class, education, civil rights, and democracy.
Student Fellows plan and facilitate either a campus community project or a student-led and student-focused book discussion. These projects focus on themes of the year's Social Cohesion Dialogue books. The 2024 Social Cohesion Dialogue books are: The Heat Will Kill Us First by Jeff Goodell, which examines environmentalism, sustainability, venerability and social justice and Treating Violence by Rob Gore, MD, which examines public health, trauma, civic engagement and community leadership.
Student Fellows will receive a stipend, be included in SCD events and meet with the authors, be featured on the CSRD website and be part of the CSRD student-faculty community.
Interest form submissions for the 2024-2025 SCD Student Fellows program are being accepted on a rolling basis until November 1st. Priority will be given to applications received by 11:59 PM on October 31st, 2024.
