All across the world, Caldwell Fellows alumni embrace the call to servant-leadership.
The community of Caldwell Fellows doesn’t allow personal growth to stay internal. I was challenged to use my increased self-awareness to better serve people around me.

(New) NC State Alumni Intergenerational Service Team
This fall 2024, we invite NC State alumni to join our team of Fellows who serve weekly at the Interfaith Food Shuttle Farm at 2300 Dover Farm Road for two Saturdays, 10 a.m. to noon, on Oct. 19 and Nov. 16. We seek volunteers who will commit to serving on both dates.
The work of each Saturday will depend on the farm’s needs. Whatever the work, you can count on getting a bit dirty, learning through experience and reflection, meeting other alumni, and having fun. Adventurous, adaptable spirits will be a great match for this undertaking. Alumni of all ages are welcome, as are family members ages 12 years and older.
What does this experience offer?
Learning about the work of the Interfaith Farm and contributing to their mission of relieving food insecurity.
Building connections with a team of alumni across two Saturdays of shared work.
Experiencing the work and values of the Caldwell Fellows program and introducing young family members to great role models and the program’s possibilities for their futures.
To sign up, complete this interest form by October 4, 2024. If space is available, you will be notified immediately. The form includes a place to ask questions or provide comments.

Caldwell Conversations is an annual tradition that brings together alumni and current Fellows in a spirit of conversation and exploration around our core values lived experiences and cultivating deep intentions.

The event provides alumni the opportunity to reconnect with peers and reflect on where they are in their lives. It also allows current Fellows to hear from alumni about the challenges and rewards of a life of service and leadership. Next year’s event will take place at the Park Alumni Center on Saturday, February 15, from 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM. More details about the 2025 event will be released in November 2024.
2025 Caldwell Fellows Gala

Next year’s event will occur at the NC Museum of Natural Science on Saturday, February 15, from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Will you join us? Tickets will be available in November 2024.
Staying Engaged.
Caldwell Fellows alumni remain active in the life of the program by attending alumni conferences, assisting in the anual selection process, hosting trips to their cities of residience and coaching current Caldwell Fellows. Continued engagement with current Fellows is a significant way that many alumni find their own development challenged and nurtured.
