These connections can lead to lasting partnerships that benefit both the host and the visiting professors’ home institutions.
- Professional development: For visiting professors, the program provides an opportunity to broaden their teaching and research experiences, as well as to learn from their peers at the host institution. These new experiences can help visiting professors enhance their professional skills and career prospects.
