Cline Centennial Visiting Professorship

Beginning in the 2006-7 academic year, the Humanities Institute will award the C. L. and Henriette Cline Centennial Visiting Professorship in the Humanities to one distinguished scholar, writer, or artist annually for an extended stay at the University. The Cline Centennial Visiting Professorship will provide a new and distinctive vehicle for the advancement of the Institute's mission to build and enrich intellectual community within, across, and beyond the University's walls.

During his or her residency, each holder of the Cline Professorship will take part in a series of formal and informal programs (including, as appropriate, lectures, performances, symposia, exhibitions, college and high school classroom visits, and town meetings) designed to involve scholars and citizens alike in the exploration of important contemporary ideas and issues. To maximize the impact of the Cline Professor's residency, the Institute plans to enlist one or more campus or community partners in the selection of each year's visitor and in the planning, publicity, and itinerary of each visit.
