Announcing the newest members of the Claremont family Dear John, We are delighted to announce the newest members of the Claremont family: the 2022 Publius Fellows. Every summer the Publius Fellowship brings together a selective group of promising young conservative leaders to study the distinctive moral and political principles of the American constitutional order. In over forty intensive daily seminars and relaxed evening symposia, Publius Fellows discuss political philosophy and American government with some of the most distinguished scholars in the nation. This year's program will take place from June 18 - July 9, 2022 in Newport Beach, CA. Publius Fellowships are awarded to highly qualified college seniors, recent college graduates, graduate students, and individuals in the early stages of promising careers in scholarship, journalism, media, business, technology, or government. As always, thank you for your support in making this program—and all of our programs—a success. Please join us in welcoming this year's fellows.
