Bonner Chairs and Interns
These student leaders - work closely with Coordinators as leaders of the Bonner Program at their school - often are the wheels that keep their Bonner Program rolling. These dedicated students are committed to strengthening their program and the experience of every student in it. Without their leadership, many of the daily Bonner activities and programs would not be as successful as they are.
Chair Positions - Current Bonners are elected into chair positions because of their demonstrated Bonner love - a devoted interest in the Bonner Program, Bonner students and the local community. They work directly with Bonner staff on communication, administration, training and enrichment projects. Bonner chair positions count as a partial placement for Bonner required service hours.
