Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows

The Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program is a Council of Independent Colleges initiative that brings prominent artists, diplomats, journalists, business leaders, and other nonacademic professionals to campuses across the United States for substantive dialogue with students and faculty members. Through a week-long residential program of classes, seminars, workshops, lectures, and informal discussions, the Fellows create better understanding and new connections between the academic and nonacademic worlds. This collection includes public lectures from some of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows who have been in residence at Linfield University.

Thiel College first hosted the Visiting Fellows program in 2019. Lectures are open to the campus community and address topics of importance.
