Undergraduate Orientation

The Bonner Community Fellowship

Pre-Orientation Programs

The Bonner Community Fellowship (BCF) is a 4-year developmental program that provides students with opportunities to advance social justice through experiential learning opportunities and critical reflection. Students in the BCF will learn about ways to consider the intersections of power and privilege in community engagement while identifying paths to address the issues that matter most. Programming for the BCF Pre-Orientation may include cohort-building activities, workshops about civic engagement and positionality, and exploring different parts of Providence. 

The BCF Pre-Orientation program is open only to incoming Bonner Fellows, and will take place from August 25 to August 27, 2025. Students admitted to the program are eligible to move into their fall residence hall on Sunday, August 24.

For more information and the application form, please visit the BCF website. Interested students should complete the program application by June 13, 2025.
