    • Fellows Program

    The Mary Christie Institute Fellows Program, a partnership with Active Minds, seeks to highlight the college student voice, providing our audience of campus policy- and decision-makers with direct, multidimensional insights into the concerns and challenges of the young people they serve.

    In collaboration with Active Minds, MCI chooses two Fellows to serve a year-long term, during which they contribute writing pieces to the Mary Christie Quarterly and appear on the MCI podcast, the Mary Christie Quadcast.
