Engaging meaningfully within the University community is both an advantage and responsibility for every student, taking various forms like academic exploration, organizational involvement, and relationship-building.

The Meriwether Lewis Institute fosters deep and sustainable student engagement. Beyond the University project, MLI Fellows commit to meaningful involvement in their chosen areas of interest or organizations on campus. These engagements range from supporting peers in different schools to proposing interdisciplinary improvements in student life.

Students collaborate with MLI Staff, mentors, and university leaders to implement impactful projects, drawing on their program knowledge. Here are some examples of past engagement projects.
