Dunn Fellowship
The James H. Dunn Memorial Fellowship Program, often referred to as the Dunn Fellow Program or the Dunn Fellowship, is a year-long governmental honors fellowship program in Illinois. The fellowship affords recent college graduates from every state the opportunity to experience and gain first-hand knowledge of Illinois State government and general governmental structure at the executive level. Successful candidates are offered fellowships with the Illinois Office of the Governor in both Chicago and Springfield, Illinois and in Washington, D.C.
Dunn Fellows work directly with management staff in the Office of the Governor and generally gain a broad perspective of the operation of state government. Many fellows upon completion of their year will move on to careers in state government as administrators or other management roles.

“Harry’s an artist without an art ... groping for the right lever, for the means with which to express himself.”
—Jo Eisinger, and Jules Dassin. Adam Dunn (Hugh Marlowe)
“Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
