We have very interesting and interactive workshops with our mentors, attend their classes and determine our plans for future cooperation. They are encouraging and doing everything to keep us motivated and supported throughout our program. Our collaboration has evolved and strengthened, and we hope it expands into new areas.

Visiting scholars will be matched one-to-one with faculty experts in their field of study.
The program supports scholars in these areas
Designed as a cohort model with individualized experiences, each scholar will be paired with one CEHD faculty during their time on campus according to their specialty and research interests. As a group they will participate in organized seminars, workshops, field experiences, and projects and will work one-one-one with the assigned faculty mentor to develop an individualized research agenda. Additionally, scholars will prepare and present their research plan.
