U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Montgomery County Community College student Alan M. Poindexter Jr., of Philadelphia, is among an elite group of students in the country to earn the 2012 Newman Civic Fellow Award from Campus Compact.
Newman Fellows are student leaders, who, through service research and advocacy, seek to find the root causes of social issues to create effective solutions.
Alan Poindexter was in my ENG 101 class a couple of semesters ago. He's the kind of student who makes me proud to be a community college professor.
