The Ohio Fellows is a Sinclair student organization, built around the idea of servant leadership and applying it to the student\u2019s professional and personal life. \u00a0Adviser Thomas Roberts said initially there were three schools in Ohio that had the Ohio Fellows organization, which were Bowling Green, Ohio University and Sinclair Community College. Thirty-five years later, Sinclair is the only college that still has an active Ohio Fellows organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was introduced to the various leadership skills \u2013 which the one that I really value and we tend to most learn about is servant leadership,\u201d Brandon Whitehorn said.<\/p>\n

Roberts said a servant leader is someone who puts other people\u2019s needs ahead of their own. It is a new way of thinking that addresses the needs of the people and community that a person is serving.<\/p>\n

To become part of Ohio Fellows, students must complete an application, successfully interview with the advisory board, and eventually, once in the program, complete an autobiography and growth contract. Roberts said the growth contract is a personal strategic plan to help develop a strategy for a student to complete his\/her goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo become a part of the Ohio Fellows you have to actually develop a life goal,\u201d Shaun Campbell said. \u201cOhio Fellows actually wants you to find a mentor, on and off campus, that aligns with the goals. That to me is very valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roberts said that although there are no scholarships available for being a member of Ohio Fellows, there are great things that are learned. During the school year the members will discuss and develop \u201csoft skills that can be applied to the classroom, employment and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the school year in June, Roberts said that there is an annual trip to Washington, D.C. for the students at no cost. They will experience service and leadership in the community, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would have these great talks for hours,\u201d Whitehorn said referring to the D.C. trip. \u201cIt\u2019s funny, because we all have the same values, we pretty much share the same common goals, what we like to do here at Sinclair.\u201d<\/p>\n
