Campus Pride welcomes 2015 Summer Fellows Tyler Eilts & Allison Marie Turner

Campus Pride announced today the 2015 Campus Pride Summer Fellows. The positions were created three years ago for recent college graduates and graduate students to become part of the summer staffing and learn more hands-on about the organization. We are proud to welcome Tyler Eilts from Illinois State University and Allison Marie Turner from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.  The summer fellows will begin mid-May until mid-August and will have free housing along with a monthly stipend.  Campus Pride appreciates all the applications for this year Summer Fellow positions.
