The Viewpoints Fellowship

Bring The Viewpoints Fellowship to your campus! Viewpoints is an innovative, peer-led fellowship for college students focused on developing curious approaches to difference and disagreement. It builds campus-based cohorts of student leaders from different universities, teaches an interdisciplinary method of approaching difference with curiosity, and empowers its fellows to create and implement programming promoting this approach in their own communities. The program is being piloted at Elon and Dartmouth in 2025-26, and we are looking for 4-5 schools to join our next cohort. Learn more at www.viewpointsproject.org, or contact Shira Hoffer at [email protected], deadline is October 2025.
