Scholarship Opportunity

The Mansfield Center is honored to offer two competitive scholarships totaling $3,000 to two UM undergraduate students each year to support the legacy of Senator Mike Mansfield and his commitment to ethical leadership. The Bob and Sue Brown Undergraduate Scholarships for Ethics in Public Affairs are made possible due to the generous support of anonymous donors who created an endowment that allows this scholarship to continue into perpetuity. 

The scholarships are awarded to authors of academic papers or creative projects that focus substantially on a topic related to ethics in public affairs and submitted in fulfillment of course requirements in any subject that is part of the undergraduate curriculum. Faculty can nominate papers by emailing the Mansfield Ethics and Public Affairs Program Director, Rob Saldin, directly with their nomination. 

Submissions are due by April 1st. You can find more information about eligibility and the nomination process on the Mansfield Center's website.

Mansfield Library Displays

Black at the Roots: Black Student Union and the Dorseys

In celebration of Black History Month, the Mansfield Library’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (in collaboration with the University of Montana’s Black Student Union) has produced an exhibit highlighting both the history of the BSU and of the Dorseys—one of the most prominent black families in Missoula’s early history. This exhibit explores the fascinating and often hidden history of Black Missoula and the start of UM’s BSU. Find this exhibit in the display cases on Level 3, and at the Payne Family Library at Missoula College.

Making a World of Difference: Stories About Global Health

This month, a traveling banner exhibition and companion website from the National Library of Medicine tell stories of people who work on a wide range of issues—from community health to conflict, disease to discrimination—to improve health in their areas and beyond. Around the world, communities, in collaboration with scientists, activists, governments, and international organizations, are taking up the challenge to prevent disease and improve quality of life. Making a World of Difference highlights how powerful our shared desire for health can be—a unifying force across political and national divides. You can find this exhibit on Level 3 of the library between the Information Center and Paw Print.

UM Career Days!

Career Days is a campus-wide celebration of career readiness at UM, powered by ElevateU (Your Griz Guide to Career Success). This series of events is open to all UM and Missoula College students - no matter your major - and empowers you to Find your purpose. Find your path. Attendees will have multiple chances to win coffee cards, UMoney, Career Days swag, or a LEGO Icons set.

Clinton Global Initiative Fellowships

On January 16th, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) announced a new fellowship designed to engage a curated cohort of emerging entrepreneurs. The CGI Fellowship aims to equip them with essential resources and mentorship to develop and execute initiatives tackling pressing global challenges. In the inaugural 2024 year, the CGI Fellowship will choose 25 individuals to develop CGI Commitments to Action- new, specific, and measurable projects dedicated to addressing critical challenges including the climate crisis, global health inequity, and humanitarian crisis. More information about this new Fellowship is available here: www.clintonglobal.org/fellowship

In addition, the CGI University 2024 application has launched and we are looking for current undergrad and grad students to apply for our 2024 student cohort. For more information on CGI University visit www.cgiu.org.

 We would love for you to share this information with your campus community. You can find the CGI University social media toolkit here and the CGI Fellowship toolkit here along with the 2024 Fellowship flyer. Note that the application deadline for both programs is March 15, 2024.

Any interested applicants for both programs can also register to attend a Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Entrepreneurship Informational Webinar – these take place weekly through March 12th.
