Chancellor's Fellows Program
Established in 2014, the Chancellor’s Fellowship provides a unique opportunity for talented graduating seniors interested in a career in public service to explore and understand the inner workings of a higher education institution.
Fellows explore the policies, practices and operations of a large public research university. In a project-based format, fellows complete one or more year-long project as well as shorter rotations focused on pan-university initiatives such as Carolina Next: Innovations for Public Good, University Commission on History, Race and A Way Forward, Carolina Across 100, Modernizing Student Support, Tar Heel Bus Tour, Operational Excellence, and implementation of the School of Data Science and Society. Chancellor’s Fellows work in collaboration with multiple areas of the Office of the Chancellor and Office of the Provost.
Fellows interact with a variety of Carolina constituencies including senior officers, faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members, and have many opportunities for personal growth and career development.

Chancellor's Science Scholars
The Chancellor’s Science Scholars program provides financial and academic support to encourage talented underrepresented students to pursue Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees in science and mathematics. Through the program, scholars are immersed in research opportunities early in their Carolina careers, both on and off campus.
The Chancellor’s Science Scholars program is based in the College of Arts and Sciences and is modeled after the nationally recognized Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County.
Learn more about the Chancellor’s Science Scholars Program and how to become a scholar at the Chancellor’s Science Scholar website.
Committees and Working Groups
The Student Advisory Committee to the Chancellor
The Student Advisory Committee to the Chancellor (SACC) brings together undergraduate, graduate and professional students at UNC-CH to advise the Chancellor and other senior leaders. SACC’s purpose is to achieve practical change that is responsive to the pressing interests and issues of students through sustained and constructive dialogue. Appointments to SACC are determined by an external process through both the Undergraduate Executive Branch of Student Government and the Executive Branch of the Graduate and Professional Student Federation (GPSF). SACC meets with the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs on a monthly basis and interacts with campus leaders throughout the year on a variety of topics.
Committee on Academic Freedom and Free Expression
The committee on academic freedom and free expression will develop expectations and guidance for students, faculty and staff to ensure they understand their rights and freedoms and those of others. The group will make recommendations for how to educate and share information with the community and propose ideas that support academic freedom, inspire civil discourse and increase learning.

Student Career and Life Skills Development Working Group
The student career and life skills development working group will identify the essential experiences that students need for their future careers and personal development. Three initial areas of focus include personal growth, professional development and community enrichment. The group will evaluate the University’s current career preparation offerings and make recommendations for improvement.
