The Wilson Center aims to build a diverse portfolio of research projects with a focus on the identification and analysis of immediate issues facing nonprofits, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and social enterprises. To that end, the Center invites Pace University faculty members to apply for Wilson Center Fellowships. Fellows will serve a 1-year term (September through August). During that time, Wilson Fellows work on specific projects such as case studies and interdisciplinary academic research that supports the Center's mission and goals. Below is a works cited list of our fellows' outcomes:
