Chicago Area Schweitzer Fellows Starting in August 2002 we conducted baseline and follow-up focus groups with the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 Fellows. We held nine groups including five baseline groups and four follow-up groups, with an average of five to six participants per group. First, we wanted to learn more about what brings students to the Fellows Program, and the roots of their commitment to service, that is, to find out who the Fellows are. Second, we sought to obtain the Fellows’ input on what works best programmatically, their suggestions for improving the Program, and the impact of the Program on their commitment to public service.
