FPE Fellows

The FPE Fellows Program is designed to provide opportunities for guests of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics & Economics (FPE) to share their expertise with students, faculty and constituencies at large in a way that affirms the values of the Center. A fellow may be a current or past public servant, distinguished scholar, or a business or cultural leader.
