From co-leading CC\u2019s chapter of Sunrise Movement, a youth-centered climate action group, to co-chairing Bridge Scholars and working as a refugee resettlement intern, Kaviya Chidambaram \u201927 is making a difference in her local community\u2014and others agree. Campus Compact recently named Chidambaram to their 2025-2026 Cohort of Newman Civic Fellows.<\/p>\n

Chidambaram says that as a young person today, it can be easy to feel as if the world is burning and there is nothing you can do to fix it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to counter youth political apathy and climate anxiety with hope and connection,\u201d says Chidambaram, an International Political Economy major and Environmental Studies minor. \u201cYoung people will bear the brunt of the climate crisis, yet we are often denied the political power and voice to make changes that are vital for our future. I work to support underrepresented changemakers in recognizing the power we have as the leaders our communities need. This looks like education on the power we hold in shaping our governance, building and empowering a community that leans on each other, and connecting students with their elected officials while mobilizing youth to get the people we need into office.\u201d <\/p>\n
