Fred Renwick Visiting Faculty Fellows Program at NYU Stern: Expanding Diverse Perspectives
We are pleased to announce the Fred Renwick Visiting Faculty Fellows Program, a new program aimed at expanding diverse perspectives, in collaboration with Clark Atlanta University (CAU), the largest of the Atlanta University Center Consortium and UNCF institutions. Made possible through an anonymous endowed gift to NYU Stern, the program launches with the goal of welcoming two visiting faculty fellows from CAU to Stern for the January 2022 spring semester.
The program seeks to initiate and deepen research relationships, to build and expand institutional networks, and to enrich Stern’s culture and classroom experience with professors who can bring the voices, values, and perspectives of Black/African-American and other underrepresented or indigneous groups to our community. This fellowship program is inspired by the memory of, and will be named for, Fred Renwick (MBA ’65, PhD ’66), a beloved former Professor of Finance at Stern, a great champion of diversity, and an alumnus of both Morehouse College and NYU Stern.
