Agora Fellow 2024-2025 Application
The Program for Public Discourse welcomes applications for the 2024-2025 Agora Fellowship. The Agora comprises a cohort of undergraduate students committed to the study and practice of public discourse. Fellows learn rhetorical concepts as they engage challenging topical issues throughout the year. They also develop facilitative techniques to host monthly deliberative forums for the student body. Fellows convene the first three weeks of each month throughout the academic calendar. Typically, up to ten students are accepted into the incoming cohort. We are no longer accepting applications.
