Moynihan Center Fellowships
A Society of Fellows
The Moynihan Center cultivates a vibrant intellectual community through three complementary fellowships that advance civic leadership, public scholarship, and dialogue across difference. Each fellowship provides resources and opportunities that enable individuals to bridge critical thinking and civic engagement while contributing to substantive debates on pressing public issues. Together, these programs create a dynamic society of fellows that spans career stages and sectors, situated within City College's diverse campus community.
