| Anthony Phillips |
Anthony Phillips was one of twenty-four young men selected to participate in the Institute for Responsible Citizenship program. He was chosen from hundreds of applicants from universities all over the country to be part of the sixth class of the Institute.
Anthony majors in African American Studies and Philosophy at Bates College. His campus involvement includes serving as a student representative for the College Lecture Committee; president of Amandla!, a cultural organization; and moderator for the African American Studies Club. In his hometown of Philadelphia, Anthony co-founded the Youth Action Team, a non-profit organization that promotes civic awareness and responsibility among inner-city youth. He plans to become a university professor.
The Institute for Responsible Citizenship admits twenty-four exceptional minority male students each year for its two-summer program at Georgetown University. During the first summer, students take courses on campus while interning in the DC Metro area. A generous stipend is provided to cover the cost of transportation and food. During the second summer, students work full-time and act as mentors to the twenty-four newly admitted young men. Students live on campus in university housing provided by the Institute during the program. |
