These exceptional scholars are appointed as part of the Faculty Excellence and Diversity Initiative in an effort to build on the excellence and diversity of our faculty community. They are the third cohort of Presidential Visiting Fellows, with eight fellows having joined the FAS in 2017-18 and six in 2016-17. We are thrilled to host them as part of this important initiative.
