<p>I think you’re either misusing the word notorious, or mixing up two things.</p>
<p>Our administration-Evanston relationship is somewhat strained (a huge and complex issue, which I tend to side with the University on objectively).</p>
<p>But NU students are highly active in community service. In addition to [that[/url</a>], there is the new [url=<a href=“http://www.bradyprogram.northwestern.edu/]Brady ”>http://www.bradyprogram.northwestern.edu/ ]Brady</a> Scholars Program](<a href=“Norris University Center - Northwestern University ”>Norris University Center - Northwestern University )</p>
<p>
The Brady Program in ethics and civic life creates a scholarly community for undergraduates, faculty and graduate students to learn and to research the serious questions about how we live as citizens, how we have courage as leaders, and how we make significant changes in our communities, both locally and globally. The program supports sixteen undergraduate students for a three-year course of study and practical experience about the nature of the good life, the nature of justice, the meaning of public service, and core values in the humanities and sciences: integrity, veracity, fidelity, courage. When we ask “What makes a good leader?” we are beginning one of our most serious civic conversations.

<p>
A Senior Year Project, led by Northwestern University graduate student fellows that will make a lasting change in our community.</p>
<p>The senior year will be a year for service learning. The students will meet with the doctoral students in Religion, Ethics and Public Life Ph.D program, who will help them to create a project that could leave a lasting mark on our city, and who will lead monthly seminars on ethics in civic life. It is expected that the international experience, combined with the first year of coursework will create a firm base for understanding what is needed to begin such a task. Some tasks will be multi-year, others could be accomplished by one class of Brady Scholars their senior year.
