Twenty-two ÎÞÂëרÇø students have been selected for the highly competitive Class of 2024, including 12 students from Dyson College of Arts and Sciences. They represent only 5 percent of more than 52,000 applications accepted from students at 6,000 colleges and universities in 48 nations.
Students accepted into the UN Millennium Fellowship program launch individual or group semester-long projects on their campuses or in their communities relating to one or more of the , 17 objectives focused on bettering our world through social impact projects relating to peace, justice, wellbeing, and sustainability.
ÎÞÂëרÇø has developed a tradition of participation in the Millennium Fellowship, and that tradition continues with this year’s class of Fellows working on projects that include: the right to know what is in one’s drinking water, viewing the Ukrainian war through children’s eyes, reducing the carbon footprint of students in the residence halls, reproductive justice, addressing food insecurity for college students, and advancing human rights for refugees. Fellows will also connect with students around the world and attend enrichment sessions led by their peers and global leaders.
The Dyson students selected for the Class of 2024 include:
Cassie Hasaj ’26, a Writing for Diversity and Equity in Theater and Media major, is heading to 30 Rock. This fall, she’ll join The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as a production intern—another step toward her dream of a career in television.
Out of 60,000+ applicants worldwide, only 4% were selected for the Millennium Fellowship Class of 2025. Among them: 16 Dyson College students—the largest representation yet—leading projects on clean water, housing insecurity, and more.
When Natasha Depaoli ’26 gave up her dorm room to commute, her family worried she’d miss out on campus life. Instead, she found her people—and built a community for others along the way.
