Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows

​Instead of the one-day visit typical of the college lecture circuit, the Visiting Fellows program provides time for trust to develop, complex issues to be explored, and ongoing relations to be established. Through these week-long visits, students and faculty members can explore how the classroom and campus relate to the broader society. By their own example, Fellows demonstrate that there are challenging opportunities for those who want to build a better world through professional activities and as informed citizens.

Institutions are responsible for providing lodging and meals for Fellows while they are on campus. Cost conscious campuses often use on-campus housing and incorporate the Fellow’s meals into campus activities to conserve funds. Additionally, institutions pay a set fee to CIC, and CIC covers the Fellow’s honorarium, primary travel, and other incidental expenses.

Once an institution decides to bring a Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow to its campus, a primary contact or “campus coordinator” should complete the 2013–2014 Campus Request Form. CIC will quickly match the institution with a requested Fellow, and the campus can immediately begin planning the week of activities with the Fellow.

We are also still scheduling visits for this year. To schedule a visit for spring 2013, please email visitingfellows@cic.nche.edu.

For more details, please read the program brochure.

Campus Request Form: Request Forms should be completed by a campus-designated “campus coordinator” who will be CIC’s point of contact throughout the planning and execution of the visit. The Campus Request Form can be completed entirely online.
