Honorary Fellows

Across its history, the Fellows community has only rarely conferred status as “Honorary Fellow” to leaders and close partners whose character, work and intense capacity for meaningful relationship have matched their profound contributions to our program and its people. In recognition of their personhood, their actions and their impact over time, three such individuals have been inducted as Honorary Fellows.

Program Partners

The Witt University Fellows Program places a strong emphasis on partnership, collaboration and community. So, it is unsurprising that, beyond the margins of its dedicated team, experts from across UA’s campus and further afield enrich a Witt Fellow’s experience in many ways.

WFP Program Partners in return experience the engagement, curiosity and pursuit of excellence of the Witt Fellows they invest in, whether that investment is as:

• Instructor or Guest Speaker
• Magnum Opus Advisor
• Black Belt Project Partner
• Dinner Discussion Host
• Finalist Weekend Interviewer
• Or, often, multiple of the roles above over time or within the same term

Project Partners included on this page have taken on more formal connections with the Witt University Fellows Program and the Witt Fellows community since the program’s renaming in 2024, but this should in no way diminish the impact and profile of those figures NOT represented here: the faculty, staff, administrators and community members who have taken individual Fellows under their wings to provide invaluable mentorship, guidance and expertise as they develop into powerful leaders, scholars and citizens.

This is a living list, and we look forward to updating it regularly as additional Partners come onboard. Don’t see a name here that belongs here? Click on the button below to nominate yourself or someone else as a WFP Program Partner!
