During that week, Fellows give presentations, attend classes, and interact with students and faculty in informal discussions. The participating Fellows, including government officials, business leaders, journalists, environmentalists, and medical ethicists, are matched with small colleges chosen for their commitment to the goals of the program. Together, they help to equip students for the social, political and economic settings they will enter as professionals and informed citizens.
