Flemming Fellows are the go-getters behind the scenes—students who help bring the Flemming Center’s big ideas to life! Whether it is storytelling, data, design, or strategy, each Fellow takes on a hands-on role shaping programs, running events, and fueling the energy that powers the Flemming Center’s mission.
Every Fellow also leads an Impact Project, co-created with the Director, that leaves the Center stronger for the next wave of Tigers. Got a skill we haven’t tapped into yet? Pitch your own role. We’re always forging new paths.
