Recruitment is underway for prospective freshmen interested in Samford University’s new Micah Fellows Program for Christian Service and Community Engagement. The program will enroll its first cadre of Micah Fellows in fall 2016.
Developed by the University Fellows office and the Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership, the initiative supports the university’s mission to foster academic, career and ethical competency while encouraging social and civic responsibility and service to others.
Micah Fellows will commit to working in specific low-income Birmingham neighborhoods while at Samford and take recommended coursework in a variety of disciplines and a series of cadres that cover conceptions of justice, mercy and humility.
The four-year program is grounded in the wisdom of Micah 6:8: “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
