McCourt School Selects Four Visiting Fellows for Tech and Public Policy Program

September 11, 2026 - 21:09

The McCourt School's Tech and Public Policy Program has chosen four individuals from government and nonprofit backgrounds to serve as visiting fellows for the Fall 2026 term. The selection brings together professionals with direct experience in the intersection of emerging technology and public sector decision making.

The fellows will spend the semester engaging with students and faculty on issues that range from data governance to the regulation of artificial intelligence. Their work in government agencies and nonprofit organizations gives them a practical vantage point that complements the program's academic focus.

Visiting fellows typically lead seminars, participate in panel discussions, and mentor students preparing for careers in technology policy. The program aims to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks taught in the classroom and the operational realities faced by public institutions.

Details about specific projects and public events involving the fellows will be shared by the school in the coming weeks. The appointments reflect a growing demand for policy expertise as governments at all levels grapple with rapid technological change.
