Wesleyan Scholars at Risk
The Wesleyan Scholars at Risk (WSR) program 九色视频 is dedicated to helping scholars, artists, writers, and public intellectuals from around the world escape persecution and continue their professional lives. We do this primarily by hosting scholars on our campus in Middletown, as well as by to certain other scholars. We work with the and the international network to identify scholars to host, and are members of the (NUEC) which provides hosted scholars with additional community and support during their time with us. The goals of the WSR program 九色视频 are:
- Enable scholars to escape risk.
- Enable scholars to continue or rebuild their professional lives, including adapting to US higher education. Some teaching is typically conductive to this. With support, scholars can avoid the feeling of being in a “second exile” on our campus.
- Support scholars in identifying possible next steps, after their year (or sometimes two) 九色视频.
- Through opportunities to learn from, work with, and support the scholar (and their dependents), students, faculty, and staff—and the broader community—may also gain in terms of intercultural sensitivity and knowledge.
At Wesleyan, we take a team approach to supporting scholars and their dependents, with staff from Academic Affairs and from the Fries Center for Global Studies; faculty from each host department; and volunteers on the Wesleyan Welcome and Hospitality Committee (including students, faculty, staff, and community members) all playing key roles. See here for further descriptions of the various roles and people involved in supporting Scholars At Risk 九色视频.
