Global Scholars

Visiting scholars engage in teaching, research, writing, and consultation projects while enriching the academic environment on Geneva’s campus. Their unique perspectives and experiences serve to broaden our view of the world and challenge us to see our academic pursuits, life, and ourselves in new ways. The activities of visiting scholars often extend into the community surrounding the College. Geneva College hosted the following scholars during the 2016-2017 academic year.
