The Polis Distinguished Fellows Program brings accomplished political practitioners, public servants, and organizers to campus to engage with our community and to dedicate some portion of their time to a project that promises an innovative solution to a problem of contemporary politics and that involves students in the process.

About the Distinguished Fellows

Polis: Center for Politics based in the Sanford School of Public Policy serves as the hub for politics at Duke University. We offer an array of programs and events intended to foster rich political discussion, showcase and provide support for politics-related research, and help students find on-ramps to politics.
