Maxcy Visiting Fellows
Ever wanted to take dance lessons from a professional? Ever wondered what it’s like
to have lunch with the Dalai Lama? You can find out about both through our Visiting
Fellows program. Once a semester, we invite a special guest to Maxcy to share their
expertise with you. During their week-long tenure as Maxcy Visiting Fellow, these
guests host events related to their field, and even stay in the guest apartments right
here in our building.
