SNF Ithaca Senior Fellows

Each semester one SNF Ithaca Senior Fellow teaches a one-credit course in the Biden School. Senior Fellows are experienced public servants, journalists, scholars or activists with substantial experience in government and civic life.

SNF Ithaca Senior Fellows are practitioners and public figures who offer students a unique learning experience connecting to democratic citizenship, civil discourse, civic engagement and/or the mediated public square.

Each semester, SNF Ithaca Visiting Fellows enrich the Biden School’s intellectual community through lectures, workshops, and applied learning experiences for students, faculty and the broader community.

SNF Ithaca Visiting Fellows have the opportunity to share their research with the Biden School community through different engagement opportunities, including a mix of the following:

  • Public lecture
  • Faculty seminar
  • One-on-one meetings with faculty
  • Workshop with faculty and graduate students

To make these opportunities possible, each Fellow receives an honorarium, travel and accommodation and publication opportunities through SNF Ithaca.​
