The Senior Leadership Fellows program brings distinguished public sector leaders who have worked at the highest levels of government and promoted, during their time in office, creative and innovative public policies that strengthened the free enterprise system and enhanced individual freedom and human prosperity. These fellows will be in residence at FIU for one semester and will lead not-for-credit seminars and study groups on salient topics based on their experience. They will also participate in talks and other events, be available to meet with and mentor students, and serve as a resource for the entire University community.
