Departmental Resident Fellows
Funded by the Avenali Endowment, the Departmental Residencies are intended to bring to campus persons with whom faculty and students might not otherwise have direct or sustained contact, including distinguished scholars from other institutions, writers, journalists, or others who can enrich academic programs but who may not necessarily be academics.
