The Liberty Fellowship is a statewide leadership program founded by Anna Kate and Hayne Hipp, Wofford College, and the Aspen Institute. The program recruits proven leaders from diverse fields and over a two-year period, immerses them in four seminars.
Participants explore what makes a “just society” and through the program, develop strategies to solve problems leaders face in South Carolina. In addition, Liberty Fellows interact with Fellows from the Aspen Global Leadership Network in locations such as South Africa, Jordan, India, and China. Finally, Liberty Fellows are paired with a mentor and commit to a personal leadership project focused on the state in the first two years of the program.
