Info Session: Adam Smith Fellowship

September 12, 6:00pm, Knapp Atrium

Interested in learning more about the Freedom Project and applying for the year-long Adam Smith Fellowship? Come listen to faculty, staff, and former fellows talk about it.

Each year, the Freedom Project at Wellesley College sponsors fellowships for up to fifteen Wellesley students. The Adam Smith Fellowship program involves intensive student reading and research on the themes of liberty and freedom, broadly defined. Particular attention is placed on engaging in contentious debates and dialogues and expanding the range of ideas to include those that are underrepresented in American higher educational institutions.

Adam Smith Fellowships are highly selective and honor Wellesley students who are deeply committed to the rigorous life of the mind and the development of a commitment to intellectual diversity, pluralism, and tolerance that is necessary in the modern world.

Adam Smith Fellows enjoy special opportunities to meet and network with prominent public figures, global scholars, and professionals by attending talks and dinners at Wellesley College, traveling to conferences on freedom and liberty in the United States and abroad, and participating in fully funded internships worldwide.
