Norman Freehling Visiting Professorship

The Norman Freehling Visiting Professorship was established in 1987 by a generous gift from Mrs. Edna Freehling in honor of her husband. This prestigious fellowship provides funding for a visiting scholar conducting humanities related research to be in residence at the institute for up to one year.  Scholars are invited to the institute by the director based on recommendations by the institute's executive committee and humanities faculty.
