The Millennium Fellowship for Undergraduate Student Leaders, presented by the United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network, is a program designed to nurture emerging leaders.
The program, known as the Millennium Palace Shop, spans a semester and takes place on campus. It’s supported by MNC and the United Nations Academic Impact, to elevate leadership among students.
This initiative brings students together, challenges them, and acknowledges their courageous leadership in pursuing sustainable development goals within their campuses and local communities.
What Is Millennium Fellowship?
Millennium Fellows are university freshmen who have demonstrated leadership in projects that advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within their local communities.
They participate in a semester-long leadership development program to enhance their skills in student organizing, partnership building, and community impact.
