Dear John,

We are delighted to announce the newest members of the Claremont family: the 2020 Speechwriters Fellows.

This year's impressive group represents a mix of patriotic individuals from the nation's highest levels of government and academia.

They will join Claremont for a weekend retreat beginning October 9. The program will pay special attention to the dominant political themes animating the 2020 presidential election, such as equality, national identity, and globalism. During their stay, the Speechwriters Fellows will engage in a theoretical and rhetorical study of these themes under the direction of Claremont scholars and former presidential speechwriters, as well as through peer-led discussions and workshops.

Please join us in welcoming this year's Speechwriters Fellows!
