Morehead-Cain’s New Global Impact

The inaugural Morehead-Cain Global Fellows have been selected to study at UNC-Chapel Hill for their academic and leadership excellence.

The inaugural 12 Morehead-Cain Global Fellows have begun their one-year program at UNC–Chapel Hill. Representing Azerbaijan, Brazil, India, Nigeria and Turkey, the global fellows have academic interests in sustainable energy, quantum computing, neuroethics, international diplomacy and the arts. The fully funded fellowship allows them to study at Carolina for one year before returning to their home university to complete their studies and positively shape their home campus.

The Morehead-Cain Global Fellows program was launched in 2024 to bring together extraordinary leaders from across the globe to study at Carolina for a transformational year. The global fellows are poised to lead with purpose, integrity and impact, said Chris Bradford, Morehead-Cain president.

“Our world needs visionary and ethical leaders who are connected across nations and cultures if we are to address the complex global challenges of this century,” Bradford said. “These remarkable individuals were selected not only for their intellectual accomplishments but for their deep commitment to creating lasting positive change, and we are honored to welcome them to Morehead-Cain and Carolina.”
