About Dole Fellows & Fellowships
Each Fall and Spring semesters, Dole Fellowships are granted to one or two individuals who have hands-on experience and enthusiasm for public service. Selection of Fellows is based on their energy, originality and potential to invigorate student interest in politics. Each Fellow leads a public, 6-8 week, not-for-credit study group on a political topic based on his/her expertise. Students and community members have many opportunities to interact with these experts and their guests in a group and or one-on-one basis.
