LIU Student Awarded Watson Fellowship

A 2001 Jeanette K. Watson Fellowship was awarded to Joel Mentor, a sophomore majoring in political science at Long Island University’s (LIU) Brooklyn campus. The fellowship, offered to talented undergraduates in New York City colleges, provides three consecutive summers of well-supervised, challenging internships, a series of enriching seminars, a financial award and a laptop computer.

A member of the Brooklyn Campus’s University Honors Program, Mentor interned last summer at the Citizen’s Committee for New York City, a non-profit organization that provides leadership training and resources for volunteer community groups throughout the city. He organized and conducted a seminar for the Youth Leadership Institute, helping young New Yorkers become inspiring leaders in the community.
