Syracuse University’s Institute for Democracy, Journalism & Citizenship has established a Visiting Fellows program to bring innovative and impactful voices in media, government, politics, nonprofits and business to IDJC’s headquarters in Washington DC for a semester-long non-academic affiliation.

The program will provide funding and prestigious affiliation for visiting leaders to collaborate and network with university practitioners, researchers, students, alumni, and the public. The IDJC Visiting Fellows program will provide visiting professionals with office space in our Dupont Circle location, use of our audio/video studio for podcast and TV appearances, and the time and platform to develop thought leadership and convene seminars and events. IDJC Visiting Fellows will bridge academia, policy-making, and real-world impact. They will enrich the intellectual ecosystem by bringing in diverse voices and expertise, fostering innovation, and enhancing IDJC’s ability to address complex societal challenges effectively.

These leaders will create a vibrant intellectual environment where visiting professionals can share their wealth of experience and insights with students, staff, faculty, and the public at large. These visiting professionals will expand the IDJC network, fostering valuable connections with government agencies, academic institutes, advocacy organizations, and other stakeholders. They will also increase the capacity of the IDJC to equip emerging leaders and early-career professionals with the skills they need to excel in the workforce in media, politics, government and more.
