Fall 2026 Fellows

For nearly 60 years, the Institute of Politics Resident Fellows Program has provided Harvard students with the opportunity to learn from prominent public servants, engage in civil discourse, and acquire a more holistic and pragmatic view of our political world. 

This semester's cohort brings experience spanning diplomacy, national security, elected office, public policy, and political journalism. The IOP’s Fall 2026 Resident Fellows cohort includes: Kelly Craft, Doug Ducey, Chris Lu, Alejandro Mayorkas, Nathalie Rayes, and Chris Whipple.

The Visiting Fellows Program brings distinguished veterans of public life for a short yet comprehensive stay at the Institute of Politics. Each fellowship is individually tailored to the background of the visiting fellow, as well as his or her calendar availability. The IOP Fall 2026 Visiting Fellow is former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
