Overview
NYU Stern School of Business is pleased to invite applications from interested and qualified candidates of all backgrounds for the Fred Renwick Visiting Faculty Fellows Program for the 2023-24 academic year. The program annually welcomes four visiting faculty fellows, two in the fall and two in the spring semester. In doing so, it seeks to initiate and deepen research relationships, to build and expand institutional networks, and enrich Stern’s culture and classroom experience with professors with a commitment to focus on uplifting voices, values, and perspectives of Black/African-American and other underrepresented or indigenous groups in our community to promote inclusivity, equity, and belonging.
Initially developed and piloted in 2021 in collaboration with Clark Atlanta University (CAU), the program is aimed at expanding diverse perspectives and collaborations and centering equity, inclusion, and belonging in the Stern academic experience. In 2023, the School is delighted to expand its outreach to the broader academic community.
This fellowship program is inspired by the memory of, and is 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. It has been made possible through an anonymous, endowed gift to NYU Stern.
