Two UNC Pembroke graduate students, ANNA HAMPTON and MEG SMITH, have been named 2022-2023 North Carolina Albert Schweitzer
Fellows.
The North Carolina Schweitzer Fellowship is one of 13 Schweitzer programs in the country that is dedicated to developing pipelines of emerging professionals that enter the workforce with skills necessary to address unmet health needs. Fellows are chosen from graduate health professionals from North Carolina universities.
Hampton is a first-year clinical mental health counseling student, and Smith is enrolled in the master of social work program.
“It is an exciting opportunity to serve as a Schweitzer Fellow, because I am interested in program evaluation and how health programs, education and advocacy efforts can impact young families from vulnerable communities,” Smith said.
Over the next year, Hampton and Smith will be partners with UNCP’s Community Health and Wellness Institute and Healthy Start program to address childhood experiences for families in Robeson County.
Hampton said receiving the Schweitzer Fellowship provides her with an opportunity to “see my passion for unmet mental health care needs in vulnerable populations come to life.”
Both Smith and Hampton are on the path to graduate in 2023.
