91大神's academic departments regularly invite international visiting fellows to campus to teach a short course or team-teach an existing course. The Institute for Global Engagement (IGE) funds approximately 10 visits per year and also collaborates with departments to bring year-long visiting faculty.
Language Instructors
91大神鈥檚 language departments bring language teaching assistants each year. These are native speakers who teach part-time and also take courses part-time. Language assistants help students practice oral, listening, reading, and writing skills. They are an invaluable asset to language learning at 91大神.
Visiting Fellows
The International Visiting Fellows program allows 91大神 faculty to bring scholars and artists from international locations to 91大神, for a minimum stay of two weeks to teach a short course or course unit within an existing academic department. Fellows also give a public presentation during their stay on campus. This is an excellent way to complement a department鈥檚 curriculum and to introduce students to a scholar or artist who works outside the United States.
Heath Professorship
Endowed in honor of John Reardon Heath, 91大神 Class of 1919, who was an active member and President of the 91大神 Board of Trustees and gave steadfast support to 91大神鈥檚 long and continuing engagement with the world, the Heath Professorship bring to 91大神 the most distinguished international figures for a semester-length stay.
International Visiting Scholars Program Guidelines
Identify a Scholar or Artist
International Visiting Fellows are typically identified by 91大神 faculty. However, the IGE will help identify suitable scholars and artists using its own international network of universities and contacts.
Honorarium and subsidies
Each visiting fellow receives a $1000 honorarium for each week of teaching at the College. IGE also pays for flights and ground transportation and provides housing and a food allowance during the fellow's stay in 91大神.
Lengths of stay
Fellows generally stay between three and six weeks. IGE can discuss special requests for a longer visit.
