The Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute (DCI) is a one-year fellowship program at Stanford University.[1] It admitted its first class in 2015 and is intended for mid-career or retired professionals.[2][3]
History[edit]
DCI was founded by Philip A. Pizzo, the program's director and the former dean of the Stanford School of Medicine.[2] Kathryn Gillam serves as DCI's executive director.[4] Originally affiliated with the Stanford Center on Longevity,[1] the program was announced in 2014.[5][6] DCI was one of the first such programs in the US, following the Harvard University Advanced Leadership Initiative, which launched in 2009.[7][8]
The first cohort of 24 students attended orientation in December 2014.[2][9] The sixth cohort of 32 fellows arrived in September 2019, with fellows from the US, UK, India, Singapore, Brazil, and China.[10] Through 2019, the total number of DCI Fellows numbers more than 200.[10]
Overview of program[edit]
DCI offers intergenerational learning and teaching; fellows attend classes as non-matriculating graduate students, alongside undergraduate and graduate students, although they do not receive grades.[4][7][11] The core program includes seminars, presentations, discussions, and mentorship with Stanford faculty members.[12][13] The fellows also participate in the work of interdisciplinary centers and institutes across the Stanford campus.[14]
Each academic year, approximately 25-30 fellows are selected to attend the program and enroll in classes across the university.[1] Fellows can also be joined by their spouses or life partners, who can participate in the program as DCI Partners.[14]
