NEWPORT, R.I. – The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy today announced the creation of a fellows program designed to drive the intellectual agenda and on-going research of the center located at Salve Regina University.
Drawing from faculty at the university and seasoned policy professionals across the United States, the Pell Center is assembling a team whose members understand issues, are gifted communicators and teachers, and who have spent time not just studying a topic, but also working in the policy community.
“We intend for the Pell Center to become a home to thought leaders and doers,” said Dr. Jim Ludes, executive director of the Pell Center. “We want a blend of traditional academics, policy professionals, and social entrepreneurs … people who know how to get things done. In this first class of fellows, I think we’ve done just that.”
The Pell Center is currently conducting a national search for a resident Senior Fellow in Public Policy. The search, to be concluded in early 2013, is part of a new direction for the Pell Center, rebalancing its emphasis and its brand between international relations and public policy and also heralding the growth of an organic research capability at the Pell Center.
Pell Center Fellows are available as resources to journalists, policy makers, and the academic community. To reach any of the fellows listed below, please contact Teresa Haas at (401) 341-2371 or
