Visiting Fellows
Visiting Fellows at the McCourt School of Public Policy bring substantive expertise and on-the-ground experience as policy leaders to further research projects, contribute to seminars and workshops and prepare students to bridge theory and practice in their life and work outside of the classroom.
Visiting Fellows join McCourt School’s community of students, faculty and practitioners as changemakers committed to shaping the future of public policy. Through discussion groups, lectures and peer-to-peer conversations, visiting fellowships are an opportunity to engage with and contribute to the McCourt School community as both mentor and researcher.
