I was selected as an Albert Schweitzer Fellow! :)

Yeah - I'm pretty much passing this little nugget of information to everyone I can possibly think of because I am just extremely happy about this.

So.... DU Lounge Lizards... I am a Schweitzer Fellow. :)

Since not one human alive has known what this was, a little snip and paste should do the trick:

Each year, the U.S. Schweitzer Fellows Programs select more than 125 graduate students from Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, New Hampshire, Vermont, North Carolina, and Pittsburgh for year-long community service fellowships.

Fellows, from a wide range of schools and disciplines, design and carry out health-related service projects for their local underserved populations.

I'll be working with young, injection drug users at a developing drop-in center in the West Town area of Chicago. I should say, I'll be helping to develop it. Should be both challenging and exhilarating. And I am now officially ONE STEP closer to looking good on my PhD applications. :)
