Society of Self Fellows
The Society of Self Fellows serves as the alumni network for the Self Graduate Fellowship. The Society encourages continued participation by Self Graduate Fellows throughout their professional careers. Society members have the opportunity to engage with the Self Graduate Fellowship through the annual symposium, society newsletter, recruitment, networking, and mentoring. Currently, there are 165 members in the society. Of the 165 members, 147 are lifetime members. Those who have completed the requirements for their Ph.D. degree are lifetime members with voting rights.
For more information on the impressive work of our alumni and "where they are now," take a look at the Society of Self Fellows Profile page.
