Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is going to Harvard.

The Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School has announced its 10 spring 2019 Resident and Visiting Fellows, who include Gillum, a former Democratic nominee to be Florida governor.

Visiting fellows "engage the Harvard community with a condensed visit schedule during the course of the semester," the Institute said in a statement. Resident fellows reside on the Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus, "mentor undergraduate students, hold weekly office hours and lead an eight-week, not-for-credit study group on a particular subject according to their experience, interests, and expertise."

Gillum emerged as a national political celebrity with a stunning upset of better-known candidates to claim the Florida Democratic gubernatorial nomination in August. His coalition of students, minorities and blue-collar workers then forced the first recount of a Florida governor's election, which Gov. Ron DeSantis won by 30,000 out of 8 million votes cast.

“We are eager to bring together this extraordinary group of fellows who will provide students with the opportunity to learn from their experiences running for office, building grassroots advocacy campaigns, and making public policy,” said Mark Gearan, the director of the fellows program.
