Become a Leader Who Makes a Difference
The Titan of Life Institute is seeking motivated undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about leadership, behavioral health, education, research, community engagement, and service. This unique fellowship provides students with meaningful real-world experience while allowing them to contribute to initiatives that improve lives and prepare the next generation of purpose-driven leaders.

Unlike a traditional internship, the Titan of Life Student Fellow serves as a consultant, collaborator, researcher, and emerging leader. Fellows work alongside nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, community partners, and experienced professionals to advance initiatives centered on the Four Pillars of Leadership: Professional, Respectful, Fair, and Service.

Whether you are pursuing a degree in healthcare, behavioral health, psychology, counseling, social work, public health, education, business, communications, nonprofit leadership, public administration, ministry, artificial intelligence, computer science, data analytics, or another discipline, this fellowship offers meaningful opportunities to apply your education while developing professional experience that distinguishes you in today's workforce.

Three Participation Pathways

He is now the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hamilton Center, Inc., a behavioral health organization that serves thirteen thousand patients across eleven counties in west-central Indiana. He has worked there for forty-seven years. He arrived, in 1979, as a part-time evening receptionist who did his homework at the front desk between calls. He is, by any measure, an American institutional story: a man who started at the bottom of an organization and built his way, slowly, over nearly half a century, to its top. In July 2023, the State of Indiana gave him its highest civilian honor, the Circle of Corydon Award. In September 2024, Indiana State University named him a Distinguished Alumni Award recipient. The city of Terre Haute, where he has lived and worked and coached youth athletes since the nineteen-eighties, declared July 29 as Melvin L. Burks Day.
