We’re also increasing our social media presence, so be sure to follow us on Facebook, and Twitter.

The Fellows Seminars, various talks, and events organized on campus, especially discussion opportunities organized for us to meet with presenters and special speakers, have truly made the fellowship year more than just a time off from teaching. Beyond that, the IPRH fellowship provided us with numerous opportunities for cross-disciplinary enrichment and intellectual growth.
