KIE Valley Strong Student Fellowships

Click here to apply.

The Kegley Institute of Ethics (KIE) invites applications for KIE Valley Strong Student Fellowships. This program is designed to support current CSUB undergraduate and graduate students in developing and implementing an ethics-related project for the CSUB campus and community. Applicants can propose a new project or describe ideas for enhancing existing KIE programming. KIE Student Fellows will learn about the operations of the KIE, gain experience organizing projects/events, and develop deeper understanding of contemporary ethical issues. Each KIE Student Fellow will receive $1500. More information about the KIE and its programming can be found on our website.

KIE is particularly interested in supporting student fellowship projects that engage with CSUB student populations and that have clearly-defined ethical relevance. Project ideas include (but are not limited to):

Ethics-focused communications/social media outreach
Ethics or social justice-themed podcasts or videos
Campus and/or community service projects
Peer mentoring programs
Peer education programs relating to sustainability, equity, and/or inclusion
Organizing engaging speaker events, conferences, workshops, and/or leadership development projects for CSUB students
Please direct any questions you have about the program to Dr. Nate Olson (nolson@csub.edu; 661-654-2314), KIE Interim Director or Dr. Kallee McCullough (kmccullough1@csub.edu), KIE Assistant Director.

Applicants:

Must be currently enrolled at CSUB as an undergraduate or graduate student.
Must have a 3.0 (or higher) cumulative GPA
