Description
The Mossavar‑Rahmani Center for Business and Government Senior Fellows Program at Harvard Kennedy School offers distinguished professionals from government and business the opportunity to join the school as Senior Fellows for a term appointment, usually aligned with the academic year. Fellows undertake independent research on critical topics at the intersection of business and government—such as regulation, corporate governance, and public–private collaboration—and actively contribute to the intellectual life of the Kennedy School. Senior Fellows are expected to lead study groups, participate in seminars, and share their practitioner insights with students and faculty, helping bridge theory and practice in complex policy areas.
