President's Fellows

Enriching a culture of hospitality and engagement

The President’s Fellows Program selects outstanding students to serve as ambassadors and representatives of the Seminary community.

Known as President’s Fellows, these students participate in various events throughout the academic year, both within Springdale (the president’s residence) and across campus.  

This initiative affords students a chance to gain valuable leadership experience, professional development opportunities, leadership training, and networking connections. President’s Fellows will also receive recognition for their contributions to the Seminary community.
