Tolani Agbaje, a University of Baltimore student working on a B.S. degree in Applied Information Technology, has been nominated by UBalt President Kurt L. Schmoke to serve as a 2023-24 Transform Mid-Atlantic Civic Fellow. Agbaje is one of 16 students from TMA partner institutions throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Delaware, including Towson University, Loyola University Maryland, Morgan State University, UMBC, American University and the University of Maryland, College Park, to be selected for the program.
The Transform Mid-Atlantic Civic Fellowship program offers student leaders from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region "high impact opportunities to develop their leadership skills and understanding of civic and community engagement so that they may better serve as leaders in their communities and collectively create solutions to our region's most urgent problems," according to an announcement by the organization. "This fellowship is a key avenue to develop student leaders who are engaged global citizens, actively contributing to the creation of equitable, healthy, sustainable, and socially just communities."
Through the fellowship, TMA provides learning and networking opportunities emphasizing personal, professional, and civic growth. Fellows will participate in virtual and in-person gatherings and conversations with regional and national experts focused on leadership development and advancing equity through civic and community engagement in the Mid-Atlantic.
According to TMA, each member institution's president is invited to nominate one student for the program.
"We are excited to begin working with this inspiring second cohort of fellows," said TMA Associate Director Anthony Wagner, adding that "TMA is hopeful that the knowledge, understanding, and connections they generate in the year to come will help to shape their future plans and strengthen their ability to catalyze change in our local communities across the region."
