Welcome to Society of Fellows

About Us

The Society of Fellows now has a global network of fellows who are contributing to their communities and are connected to each other and to the Rachel Carson Center. We enable extraordinary individuals from across the globe and from diverse disciplines to increase their capacity to make the world a better place.

The RCC maintains strong relationships with alumni fellows through its Society of Fellows. All former Carson fellows are members of the Society of Fellows. The Society of Fellows plans events around the world for alumni fellows and is also developing resources that will help RCC fellows past and present stay connected to the Center.
