Faculty Fellows

Each year the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship funds four fellowships for Pace University faculty to grow our diverse portfolio of research projects with a focus on the identification and analysis of issues facing nonprofits and social enterprises.  Fellows are selected by the Faculty Steering Committee in a double-blind review based on the strength of the submitted project.  During their fellowship year, each faculty member works on a specific case study or academic research project that actively engages current Pace students.  These fellows participate in the Wilson Center Faculty Steering Committee for a 3-year term and present their work in at least one Pace research showcase. Full application details for the program are available.
