The Service and Civic Leadership program congratulates Elsa Marty!
Elsa Marty was selected as a Civic Leadership Fellow with the Upper Midwest Campus Compact Consortium for the 2006-07 school year. The Fellows program supports and promotes students as powerful citizen leaders. Here’s what Elsa has to say about her experience:
Why did you choose to participate in the MN Campus Compact civic fellows program?
I was interested in the MN Campus Compact civic fellows program because it provided leadership training for students, empowering us with tools to be effective advocates, helping us become engaged in the community and work for social change.
What is your project?
I organized a Nonviolence Workshop on campus (led by Lutheran Peace Fellowship) that took place the first weekend in March. Using the skills that we gained from this intensive workshop, the other participants and I will be leading several mini-workshops throughout the course of the semester.
What has been the best part of this experience?
Engaging in conversation with other people who are passionate about issues related to peace and social justice. Together we are exploring the connections between violence, hunger, and poverty, and we are searching for nonviolent solutions for conflicts in both our personal lives and on the larger, global scale.
What has been most challenging?
It has been difficult to confront the very real pain of the violence that surrounds us, and to acknowledge our own participation in violent and oppressive structures. Creating a culture of peace is not an easy task; it requires creativity, determination, and humility.
How do you see this experience being useful in your life after college?
Next year I hope to enroll in a program on Conflict Transformation, Peace Building, and Interfaith Relations at a school in India. I plan to continue to take leadership on social justice issues and remain active in politics.
