Open to artists in all disciplines, fellows are selected for a two-year residency to teach one course each semester or, in lieu of a course, to undertake an artistic assignment, such as directing a play, conducting a student music ensemble or choreographing a dance with students. Fellows will be active members of the University's intellectual and artistic community while in residence, with access to the resources and spaces necessary to their work.
