New Vanderbilt program gives faculty a New York City base for research, scholarship, creative work

Vanderbilt faculty have a new way to deepen their research, scholarship and creative work: a residency at the university’s campus in the heart of New York City. “The Vanderbilt NYC Scholars in Residence Program reflects our commitment to creating exceptional opportunities for faculty,” Provost C. Cybele Raver said. Kevin M. Stack, senior associate provost for Vanderbilt University–New York City, said he looks forward “to welcoming the inaugural cohort of Resident Scholars to the campus.” EligibilityThe program is open to all full-time Vanderbilt faculty in any academic school or college, but faculty must confirm their eligibility with their dean before applying. Faculty interested in advancing their research, scholarship or creative work through meaningful engagement with New York City’s research, cultural, business and creative communities are encouraged to apply.
