The Alumni Experience

All across the world, Caldwell Fellows alumni embrace the call to servant-leadership.

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.

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.
