Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows Program

For more than 35 years, the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program has brought prominent artists, diplomats, journalists, business leaders, and other nonacademic professionals to campuses across the United States for week-long residencies of teaching and dialogue with students and faculty members. Through an intensive program of classes, seminars, workshops, lectures, and informal discussions, the Fellows create better understanding and new connections between the academic and non-academic worlds. Roger Bowen, who has served as president of two universities and general secretary of the American Association of University Professors, directs the program.

Program Details

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 2010–2011 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.
