The North Carolina State University, Caldwell Fellows Program Records contain annual reports, a newsletter, and yearbooks highlighting the fellows. Materials range in date from 1993 to 2020. In 1968, the NC State Fellows Program began, funded by a grant from the Smith Richardson Foundation. When grant funding ended, the Alumni Association and the Division of Student Affairs provided support for the program to continue. In 1978, the program became the Caldwell Scholars Program, named for John Tyler Caldwell who was chancellor from 1959 to 1975. In 1990, it was renamed the Caldwell Fellows Program. Students selected for the Caldwell Fellows Program are encouraged to learn and grow, think big, cultivate leadership qualities, and collaborate with alumni, faculty, and community partners. This is accomplished by attending summer programs, honors courses, leadership programs, and internships. The program reflects Chancellor Caldwell's values of building the next generation of service-oriented leaders. Less
