12 Dyson Students Named United Nations Millennium Fellows
Twenty-two Pace University students have been selected for the highly competitive United Nations Academic Impact-Millenium Fellowship Class of 2024, including 12 students from Dyson College of Arts and Sciences. They represent only 5 percent of more than 52,000 applications accepted from students at 6,000 colleges and universities in 48 nations.
Students accepted into the UN Millennium Fellowship program launch individual or group semester-long projects on their campuses or in their communities relating to one or more of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, 17 objectives focused on bettering our world through social impact projects relating to peace, justice, wellbeing, and sustainability.
Pace has developed a tradition of participation in the Millennium Fellowship, and that tradition continues with this year’s class of Fellows working on projects that include: the right to know what is in one’s drinking water, viewing the Ukrainian war through children’s eyes, reducing the carbon footprint of students in the residence halls, reproductive justice, addressing food insecurity for college students, and advancing human rights for refugees. Fellows will also connect with students around the world and attend enrichment sessions led by their peers and global leaders.
