Experts-in-Residence
In August 2023, Nicola Foote, dean of Pitt’s David C. Frederick Honors College, announced the launch of the Experts-in-Residence Program, a partnership between the college and three distinguished leaders in their fields. Throughout the 2023-24 academic year, these experts —Damon Young, writer-in-residence; Morgan Overton, artist-in-residence; and Sherry Sykes, diplomat-in-residence — will offer specialized workshops and events for the University of Pittsburgh and other communities throughout Pittsburgh.
“The goal of the Experts-in-Residence Program is to provide Frederick Honors students with the opportunity to learn directly from nationally recognized leaders and to have both formal and informal opportunities for mentorship, engagement and interaction,” said Foote. “Students will be able to get expert feedback on their own work, and they will have enhanced opportunities to learn across disciplines and move beyond their majors. We are so thrilled by the incredibly talented experts who have joined the Frederick Honors College and can’t wait to witness the innovative collaborations that unfold.”
A gift to the Experts-in-Residence Fund will enable us to help our experts produce unique and impactful events and experiences for our students.
