Faculty from various Marshall University departments are appointed on a rotating basis as Drinko Academy Fellows. These Fellows receive reduced teaching loads for an academic year and summer to undertake original research or curriculum development.

The Drinko Professors and Fellows undertake innovative curricular reforms of two sorts. First, they will seek to develop new general education courses for all students that address American political institutions and civic culture from a broad, multidisciplinary perspective. Secondly, they will explore ways to develop a new undergraduate major and to enhance existing disciplinary majors relevant to politics and the civic culture.
