Free Expression Staff Fellows

The Free Expression Staff Fellowship invites campus professionals to bring dialogue and debate into the work they already do with students. Fellows join a community of colleagues, try new ideas in their own programs, and learn what helps students disagree well. These Fellows believe every corner of campus can be a place to practice curiosity and connection.
