She’s making someone’s life a little better. Megan Rogers, a sophomore business major at Niagara University, has been named a 2016 Newman Civic Fellow for demonstrating outstanding leadership and civic engagement. Megan is among 218 students in the country to receive the award.

“Working on the Sandal Falls project has been an amazing experience,” Rogers said. “Knowing that we can impact even one person’s life with a simple pair of shoes makes all the time and effort put in worth it. It is a blessing to have this opportunity to volunteer in making a difference and give someone a new chance at a better, healthier life.”

Says the report in Niagara News, “The Newman Civic Fellows award honors inspiring college student leaders who have demonstrated an investment in finding solutions for challenges facing communities throughout the country. Through service, research, and advocacy, Newman Civic Fellows are making the most of their college experiences to better understand themselves, the root causes of social issues, and effective mechanisms for creating lasting change.”
