Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is comprised of faculty from a variety of U-M departments, schools and colleges. Their counsel is invaluable in helping the Institute to chart its course vis-à-vis program and Visiting Fellows and, along with three outside evaluators, they carry out the difficult job of reviewing applications for and selecting winners of our Faculty Fellowships.
