This year, the Imagining America Undergraduate Fellows program brought together engaged undergraduate students at the 2011 national conference. The selected students all are interested and active in public scholarship within humanities, arts, and design, and have a leadership role on their home campus or in the community during the 2011-2012 school year. The students discussed, reflected on, and were a part of a larger undergraduate group at the conference to explore how to integrate public engagement into their lives after college.
