Faculty Fellow
Our connection with faculty members is a vital part of our approach to international education. We started our International Education Faculty Fellow program as a way to deepen our connection to Richmond faculty, especially those who are champions of internationalization on campus.
Faculty Fellows use their expertise to advise on office initiatives, build relationships across campus, and strengthen existing programming to benefit student scholarship. Anthony Russell, our first faculty fellow, recruited faculty members to become involved with Fulbright advising and interview panels, prior to the hand-off to the Office of Scholars and Fellowships.
Tood Lookingbill, Professor of Biology and Geography, Environment, & Sustainability, is serving his first term as fellow in partnership with International Education. Todd brings his wealth of knowledge on matters of sustainability and place-based education to the office's development of IE Week 2023 focused on local-global sustainabiity. He actively supports campus internationalization through these and other professional relationships.
