Jonathan Michie, President of Kellogg College says, “I know that Mishal Husain will prove to be a tremendous addition to the Kellogg community, strengthening our college’s global engagement with issues of culture, history, and civilisation”.

The Bynum Tudor Fellowship is the College’s most prestigious honour. Established in 2004, it underscores Kellogg’s commitment to engaging with influential leaders and accomplished business, policy, and culture professionals. The fellowship is named in memory of the late Bynum E. Tudor Jr., a distinguished community leader from North Carolina, and his wife, Joanna Tudor, both generous benefactors of the College.  Awarded annually, the Fellowship invites recipients to deliver a lecture at Kellogg. Fellows include His Majesty King Charles III, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Ban Ki-moon.
