CSPC Releases the 2025-2026 Presidential Fellows Review
CSPC is proud to announce the release of the 2025-2026 Fellows Review, an anthology of research papers produced by the Center’s Presidential Fellows. The talented college and university students that make up the annual Fellowship cohort spend 9 months diving into topics related to the presidency and Congress. The best of their research is coalesced into the Fellows Review. We encourage you to explore their work on topics ranging from U.S. foreign policy to electoral politics.

The Dreamers
Profiles of American Innovators and Changemakers at 250 Years
The Dreamers is a collection of profiles highlighting the innovators, scientists, engineers, and visionaries whose work helped shape the United States. Venturing beyond household names — from Chien-Shiung Wu to Margaret Hamilton to the researchers at Bell Labs — each profile examines not just what these figures achieved, but how: the moments of persistence, and the institutions and communities that made their work possible. Together, they reveal the underlying features of American culture and society that have, again and again, turned ambitious ideas into transformative realities. Published as part of CSPC’s Quarter Millennial Project, The Dreamers revisits 250 years of American history to highlight the people who made it possible.
