Summer break has a different meaning for some University of New Haven (UNH) students this year, who spent the summer as presidential fellows, bringing crucial, hands-on services to government and non-profit organizations in the greater New Haven area. They included criminal justice student Kristina Bensley, class of ‘10, of Matamoras, who spent her summer at Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s office in New Haven writing letters to concerned citizens and accompanying staff members at events and meetings. Now in its 11th year, the UNH Presidential Fellowship is a highly selective program offered to several of UNH’s brightest and most-committed students. The program places fellows in vital positions and provides them with stipends and University housing for the summer. The fellowship offers an enriching experience to students, allowing them to give back to the community while gaining real-world experience.
