Graduate Fellowship Program

The Parr Center Graduate Fellows are an interdisciplinary cohort of Carolina graduate and professional students with an interest in ethics drawn from across UNC Chapel Hill’s diverse community of scholars. The program provides Fellows with an opportunity to work and collaborate with researchers and practitioners outside of their home academic units, meet and engage with exciting visiting speakers at dinner and lunch events, and get involved with the Parr Center’s extensive docket of public-facing outreach programs.
