Fellows come from all over the university, bringing their particular passions and living out the public purpose of their discipline through teaching and researching in, with and for community.

The Lund Fellows Program is an endowed donor-funded program with the aim to provide Cornell undergraduate students the opportunity for a hands-on eight-week internship experience on small-scale sustainable farms. Opportunities include, but are not limited to, vegetable gardening, food justice, urban gardening, aquaponics, youth agriculture education and organic cider production.
Though the internship is only eight-weeks, the program requires that students participate in both a one-credit pre- and post-internship class. The pre-internship class aims to prepare students for their internships, including community partner communication, safety and logistics, discussions on sustainable agriculture, introduction to critical thinking and cohort team building. The post-internship class provides space for personal reflection, group discussions and participation in the CALS Engaged Learning Symposium. I am looking to both improve the content of the classes and make facilitating the material more engaging.
