About Fellows
While Mentors provide the non-academic perspective for Scholars, Fellows are essential academic senior counterparts to our Scholars. They inspire as role models, as researchers of the highest levels, recognized and acknowledged by their peers who can act as public intellectuals outside of Academia.

Fellows are interested in various subject matters, have published extensively and distinguish themselves as outstanding PhD advisors. They take service to their institutions seriously and are dedicated university leaders.

They play a critical role in the intellectual development of our doctoral Scholars, empowering them to think about academic and non-academic pathways and inspiring them to publish, network, and attend conferences. Fellows act as outstanding public educators, dynamic professors, and intellectual guides to Scholars during their mandate with the Foundation.

Programming
As leading academics with expertise that touches on one or more of the Foundation's themes, Fellows can focus learning sessions on their research, giving Scholars a better understanding of the big issues and how engaged leadership can help address them.

The Foundation is in the process of designing a new Strategic Plan for 2025. We will communicate the details of the programming soon. The Foundation dedicates itself to public events on subjects of interest to Canadian society.

Fellows may act as intellectual counsellors when preparing our events. They may also provide Masterclasses to Scholars on subjects they deem necessary for their leadership development or intellectual engagement.
