The University of Richmond Faculty Summer Seminar is organized by the Office of
International Eduaction with support from the Office of the Provost. The purpose of the
seminar is to widen culural awareness on campus. The University of Richmond strives to
create an environment on its campus that is both international and interdisciplinary,
an environment in which students as well as faculty are continously learning about our
changing world. The Faculty Seminar brings together a diverse and interdisciplinary group
of faculty who meet over the course of the academic year to learn together about a given
geographic region--both sharing their own expertise and exploring completely new areas of
interest.
