Faculty Fellows Program
In accordance with its commitment to creating collaborative relationships with faculty and academic departments at affiliate schools, the study abroad program provider SAI announces the launch of a new innovative program for affiliate colleges and universities: the SAI Faculty Fellows Program. Beginning in Summer 2011, SAI will offer an annual summer fellowship to a faculty member from an SAI-affiliated university or college. The purpose of the fellowship is to foster a deeper connection between faculty in our affiliate schools and Italian institutions, and to provide opportunities to faculty for continuing their research and studies. The award will include air travel and private apartment accommodation for one month, in Florence or Rome. Faculty who wish to have family or friends accompany them may be subject to a utility fee. Faculty may be nominated or can apply independently. The fellowship is individually designed, based on the needs and interests of the faculty fellow.
The fellowship will occur for up to four consecutive weeks, between June 1 and July 30, 2011. The deadline for applications is March 11, 2011. The application consists of a letter of intent from the faculty member; curriculum vitae; list of courses taught in the past three years; faculty’s discipline; and the proposed activity while in Italy, such as guest lecturing, independent research or other activities that enrich the fellow’s experiences with Italian language and culture. No knowledge of Italian language is required. Applicants will be notified by April 30, 2011 of their status for the Summer 2011 Faculty Fellowship. Criteria for selection include demonstration of the faculty’s interest in pursuing scholarly activities that develop or expand his/her breadth and depth of knowledge regarding Italy: its history, culture, geography, food, art, and people.
