About the Fellows Program
Each semester, the UNC Institute of Politics brings an experienced politician or civic leader to campus to lead an 8-week long seminar series with weekly office hours. Students often hear from professors, but the Fellows Program allows them to network with and learn directly from experienced professionals. This fall, students have the chance to gain firsthand insight into the world of North Carolina politics with Fellow Wayne Goodwin.
