Ted Bradshaw Engaged Student Program - Provider Overview
Overview of the Student Engaged Scholars Program
The Center for Regional Change (CRC) annually accepts applications from faculty, researchers, and community partners who are interested in working with a UC Davis undergraduate and/or graduate student(s). Providers are matched with scholar(s) on the basis of interests, future goals, and passions. The overall goal of the internship is to create opportunities for engaged student scholars to deepen their skills in community engagement, social justice, and environmental issues.
Commitment: Providers work one-on-one with students and help them prepare for their future careers. Students gain practical experience in a real-world project with community partners. The CRC supplies a one-time stipend to the scholars as well as guided mentorship in skill-building. Further supplemental income from the provider is always welcomed, but not required.
Timeline: The providers will potentially be matched with a scholar in fall of each academic year and confirmation of the match will take place from both parties. Program orientation starts in January each year. Student projects with providers can also start as early as January and extend through June. At the end of the academic term, student scholars present their experience at the annual CRC celebration for students, providers, staff and faculty.
