Advising

The Program, inaugurated in 2007, is designed to strengthen the sense of academic community through fostering greater dialogue among faculty, students, and staff, as well as facilitate students' entry into this community through intellectual engagement and exchange. A further goal of the Program is to link students to and help publicize the College's Theme Year.

Program participants will have an opportunity to meet the author at the author's public talk and other venues during the author's campus visit.
