Global Scholars in Residence celebrates third cohort

Several international scholars visited Vanderbilt University this spring as part of the third cohort of the Global Scholars in Residence program. Introduced in November 2022, the program is designed to boost the university鈥檚 global profile through scholarly partnerships and collaboration.

Visiting scholars are selected through an application process that prioritizes new scholarship, collaboration across departments and schools, and investment in ongoing relationships. The goal is to establish new relationships around the world that produce ongoing scholarship and open new avenues for grants and fundraising.
