Meet the Fellows

Their passion for disciplined research, exploration, and study is equaled only by their thirst to engage with others, to teach, and to surround themselves with other broad-ranging thinkers across Grounds.  This special dynamic, rooted in the founding of the University, ultimately is what makes the Jefferson Fellows different.

The program’s growth, perhaps most easily tracked by following the increasing annual number of Fellows that permeate the Grounds, is predicated on superb alumni volunteer service, supportive faculty feedback, and – perhaps most importantly – the inclusive environment, pan-University, that the Fellows and the Fellowship program embody.
