Visiting Scholars in Residence The Lewis Global Studies Center works with faculty in departments and programs across the college to bring international faculty as visiting scholars for short residencies on campus. The associate dean for international students and scholars Hrayr Tamzarian assists the visiting scholars with visa invitation letters and logistical support. Along with the many international visiting scholars invited by Smith departments, the Lewis Global Studies Center is occasionally asked to co-sponsor and host featured events for a particular visiting scholar’s stay in order to maximize opportunities for the Smith community to engage and interact with the scholar across disciplinary boundaries and co-curricular activities.
