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.

"Every Sunday, she would invite me up to her place. She taught us etiquette, how to set the tables, and how to make sure you're manageable when eating and cleaning." Melvin L. Burks

Hammond also had streets. Mr. Burks does not describe them romantically, and he does not describe them as something to overcome. He describes them as a laboratory.
The relevant chapter in Titan of Life is called "First Life Lessons," and it is a brief, dense account of what it meant to grow up in an environment that operated on codes unwritten rules about what was respected, what was penalized, and who held the actual authority. You learned these rules through observation and consequence, not through instruction. You learned quickly or you paid for being slow. The education this produced is what Mr. Burks would later call, with the dry precision of a man who had also earned three formal degrees, his "PhD in Streetology." He would draw on this credential, decades into a distinguished career, in a chapter called "PhD of Streetology and Home Security" a chapter that describes a moment when a threat to his family required knowledge that his official degrees could not supply. He handled the situation using tools that the streets had put in him long before Indiana State University had the opportunity.
