CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Harvard’s Institute of Politics has announced that former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz and former AFL-CIO president John Sweeney are among the six selected as resident fellowships for the spring semester.

The fellows, whose appointments were announced Monday, will interact with students, participate in the intellectual life of the Harvard community and lead weekly study groups on a range of topics.

Others chosen were Mary Catherine Andrews, special assistant to former President George W. Bush; Ernest Istook, a former U.S. representative from Oklahoma; former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and former Haiti Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis.

Institute of Politics Director Bill Purcell said the fellows class represents every kind of public service at every level.
